You’re forgetting the third pronunciation, Dat-uh. “Dat,” as in DAT ASS youknowwhatI’msayin
Dahtum
Dayta
If it’s well structured then day ta. If it’s more raw then dah ta.
Idk why, why the second way sounds more raw.
Both. I feel like one of them always tends to fit the conversation better than the other, but which one that is seems to be totally random.
Like this
I mean the man told us how he prefers it, o don’t understand why this is so hard for people
I pronounce it “data” of course.
Of course! That’s the only way to say it, all others are wrong!
dətə
Both, randomly switching between them
Same, and when I catch myself doing that, I wonder why I do it, then move on with life and do it again later.
Day-tah
And it’s uncountable.

Yes, because you’ve added a “container” word. Well done. You get a gold star.
Depends on how much Star Trek we’ve been watching lately.
so, always Dayta.
Data is a proper noun, data is not.
Applicable to many areas of my life
Day-ta
Ditto
Dih-toe
Die-toe
Dit toh
That’s German and means “the toe”
Die Bart die
Die über toe!
You should probably see a podiatrist for that problem.
Dy-do
This is the way
Both. I am german and I speak a weird amalgamation of british and american english.
Same minus the german part
Same
Yep, finding myself there, too. Mostly depends on what bit of music/show/media I have listened to/watched most recently :D
I use both. One feels more singular while the other feels more plural though I can’t tell you which when you ask me. We have to sneak up on it together.
I have the same issue with “Thuh” and “Thee” for “The.”
“The” does have two pronunciations depending on if the word after it starts with a vovel sound or not. It’s “Thuh” for consonants and “Thee” for vowels.
No it’s not… it’s purely emphasis/stress via vowel reduction in English?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_and_vowel_reduction_in_English
It’s both things, and subjected to wide variation:
- Stressed Unstressed Prevocalic /ði:/ /ði/, /ðɪ/, /ð/ Preconsonantal /ði:/, /ðʌ/ /ðə/ Source for those pronunciations, Wiktionary.
To complicate it further some varieties merge /ʌ/ and /ə/, or /ɪ/ and /ə/. And I’m not even taking into account varieties using a different consonant, /t θ d f v/.
Dah-ta in a day-tabase.
Dat-uh is information, Day-tuh is a Star Trek character.
One is his name. The other is not.
