My daughter is in Crete at the mo', she is somewhat fluent, so I asked
her.
Amongst the peasantry it is said as "Tea she" but in what might be
called high Greek it is Tie che where the ch is as in that Scottish body
of water - Loch, or as in Van Goch (when not the American removal firm -
Van Go) a sort of rasping H from the throat.
If you are referring to the Dutch painter, this is spelled "Van Gogh".
Where both G's are pronounced as the throat rasping in Loch.
As is usually the case with "ch" as in Scheveningen.
A sound used often in Dutch and used as a test for native "Dutchness".
