D@-ah
Day-tah
But I’m from the UK. Anything else would sound bizarre with my accent
Samesies
IMO The sentence you enter dahta into a daytabase is correct to me. Dahta is like unworked mana (pronounced mahna) whereas manah is what you have done or are doing with it and Tomaytos are fresh, tomahtos are what you have done with them.
People who say potahto should be flogged in the village square however… damn heathens.
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?

I’m just going off what I learned in school in Denmark. According to lvxferre@mander.xyz it seems there is a lot more variation than I thought.
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/.
Ohh nice, that table helps. I felt like something was off about people sometimes using more /ði:/ than what I was taught!
Please, i don’t want to be self aware of my accent in my first language.
Also the two pronunciations of “the” noted above are different mouth shapes. “Uh” un butt versus “ee” in jeep.
Yes.
Both
The only proper way to pronounce data is the way Captain Jean Luc Picard pronounces it.
Datorade, because relentless 21st century advertising has put worms in my brain.
As an American and originally from the mid-west, I pronounce it “day-ta”.
Day-ta. The latter is how Americans pronounce it?
Some do. I say day-ta as do most of the people I’ve worked with across the US
I flip flop back and forth, I’m not totally sure if there’s a specific rhyme or reason to my choices, it may just come down to a subjective feeling about which I think sounds better in the sentence.
My wife is a dayta analyst, and she analyzes dahta.
dətə
Day-tah
And it’s uncountable.

Yes, because you’ve added a “container” word. Well done. You get a gold star.
Like the A in apple.
I pronounce it the correct way.
