minus-squareGnergy@piefed.europe.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoEveryone who has played through GTA 5 has heard the pronunciation “nitch” here: https://youtu.be/FlzZhGr8G9w?t=79 I (nonnative speaker of English) used to think it was pronounced neesh because my first language’s cognate (Nische) is pronounced similar to that.
