If you mean like "Dei-tuh" , then yah . Just sounds more natural to me

This is the way.

I do, but that's because "now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time."

I've taught statistics for over 20 years. I flipflop on this constantly, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. Even more disturbing: I don't have a consistent position, at least grammatically, on whether it's singular or plural.

Yes, I'm from the UK and that's just how it's said here.

I pronounce it data. Guess I thought everyone did.

Yes. I'm British.

I vacillate between the two. Really depends on the words surrounding “data”.

I only say data the way it's said in Star Trek. Same for database.

I pronounce it ta da~! , jazz hands included

I alternate between the two pronunciations depending on whatever I vibe with at the time, much like with how I spell colour/color

American. Day-duh.

Data: First, the two A's/vowels:

The first of two A's gets the "Aey" sound, the second gets the "Ah" sound.

Then, because I'm from California, the ah becomes uh.

Then, similarly, the "tuh" has a hard T at the beginning. But again because California/USA, the T becomes a D (British: butter ("buttah", hard t's), usa: budder(soft t's or d's))

Thus: day-duh.

A local radio DJ said once that if he's feeling fancy he says "Da Ta" like "ta-da!" Cracked me up way more that it should have.

I pronounce it like that, but I call the character "dah-ta"

For his name I say data but when talking about data I say data but when I say database I say data and when I watch 1986’s Willow with Warwick Davis I say data

I don’t know, because I have no idea how the Star Trek character says it…

I use them interchangeably 🙈

It is pronounced /ˈdætə/.

Yes, i watched TNG before (and during) i learned English

How else are you supposed to pronounce it?
