Hi

Exactly as it is: Fe (as in 'fe' in "fetch" or "fender" or "defend") not as in "feet" or "feel". The 'ta' as in "Feta" is pronounced ta as in: tap, tackle, or tally. No as in Tarmac, or tart.

I hope this explains it?

The second syllable is not pronounced as in "tap", which is the same "a" sound as in the first syllable of "data". It is pronounced like "uh" as in the second syllable of "data".

So, "fe-tuh" is the preferred pronounciation in English, but in many European countries it is pronounced as "fay-ta" or "fay-tuh" with a long-a sound for the first syllable, as in "beta".
