How do you pronounce "Data"?

Quick question,

In general every day conversation, how do you pronounce the word "Data"


Personally, I go with "That-ah". I think I'm pronouncing it wrong, though?

Blisterman

Day-Tah


However I pronounce Status as Statt-us, so I've no consistency.

That-ah

Using my mouth and dont call me data

Why would you pronounce it 'that-ah'? Like 'that' with a stereotype Italian accent? I can't see how, from the letters involved, you could wangle that (-ah) pronunciation from data...

It's 'daah-tuh'. (Not 'day-tuh', American pronunciation does not belong in Ireland...)

That-ah

Po-day-ta.

Hyperbullet

I pronounce it like him. His reaction in the last 8 seconds of that video also sum up my feelings towards this thread.

Poll options are strange.

It's Dat-ah, not that-ah. Where did you get 'that' from?
If said with a Louth accent, sure, then you'd say 'thaaaaat-ah'.

Funny, I'd consider your "correct" pronunciation to be more American.

Saila

my old man pronounces EVERY fckin word different to how every one else Ive heard use the word pronounces it, its really annoying :mad:

monaco is mo-naco
theres loads of examples, but cant think of them now.

Aoifey!

I say "That-ah".

Always thought it was right? Maybe not?

languagenerd

That-ah

I think I say "dah-ta" for "data" but "day-tabase" for "database".

But then I also say "either" and "neither" both ways, without concious thought.
Jeez, I'm terribly inconsistent

Pauleta

That-ah

Date-ah. Purely because of Star Trek :cool:

Have never heard a non American say Day-tah...

Deus Ex Machina

I suspect that everybody who says Day-ta (or whatever obfuscating phonetic you wish to use, you know what I mean) originally said Dat-ah until they heard somebody whom they believed to be cool saying Day-ta and decided to change.

So to answer your question, I say dat-ah.

Day-ta is to dah-ta like tomay-to is to tomah-to.
Of course then, there's po-tayto and po-tahto.

Seriously, what the bloody hell were the English thinking?

That-ah

I wasnt around computers until I moved to the usa so I call it day-ta

I always think it sounds odd to hear the limey way of saying dart-a
