How do you pronounce German philsopher Nietzsche's name?

My German friend told my this "Neat-che. The che part is similar to 'check'"

How do you pronounce German philsopher Nietzsche's name?
The Americans pronounce it: Neechy





The British pronounce it: Neech





I'd love to know how the Germans pronounce it...After all, that would be the correct pronunciation.





I think Mel is probably the closest on this one.
Reply:it's like neet-sher, neetcher





i've never heard it being said 'neet-chi', i think that's the americanized version.
Reply:Nee-chee.
Reply:Neat-chi
Reply:The same way he pronounced it.
Reply:Put your ear next to the speaker and I will whisper it to you.
Reply:Neat-she
