What is the correct pronunciation of the word data?

Answer 1

Depends which school you went to or which country you are in. In the UK I usually hear 'dayter', but I have also heard 'datta' and dartar'. The stress has always been on the first syllable.

Another answer:

There is no authority for any pronunciation other than DAY-tuh. It comes from Latin, and when the first syllable of a Latin word is accented and ends in a vowel, the vowel in the first syllable will take its long sound. Every reputable dictionary will list this pronunciation first.

Answer 2

Either the pronunciation where the "dat" rhymes with "rat" or where it rhymes with "date" is considered correct.

or, you can say da like dad then ta like tamale

Answer 3

Data is the correct spelling of the word.
An example sentence is "he examined the data to ensure it is correct".

Answer 4

daytuh compilayshun

Answer 5

Data
