    1. niche

    2. nee

    3. albeit

    4. grande prix

    5. joie de vivre

    As a Canadian, I use the French pronunciation for 1, 4 and 5, but 2 sounds odd spoken either way, and 3 never sounds quite right either. (Excuse my French)

    OEM: It depends. Some people (Especially those of the Chassidic persuasion.) pronounce them thusly: 1) ooveenee Malk-eye-knee: 2) Yisgad-Isle ve-Yiskaad-Eish Shem-Eye Raboooooo. (As in Moooo).

    Oomis- Sh’may

    3. ALL-be-it

    1. neesh

    2. nay

    3. i’ll bite

    3. grande(soft d) pree

    4. zhwa di veevre (almost silent r)

    I hate the word “albeit” in any pronunciation and usage.
