Do you know how to pronounce the word “data”?
A lot of people get this word wrong, but with this guide, you’ll be able to say it like a pro!
We’ll include an audio clip so you can hear how it’s supposed to sound, and we’ll also give you some tips on how to remember how to say it. Data is an important word for everyone to know how to pronounce correctly, especially business owners and professionals.
So don’t miss out – read on for our full guide on how to pronounce data!
Here’s how data is generally pronounced:
“Day-tuh” is the correct way to pronounce data. This pronunciation applies to both American and British English. Most American English and British English speakers say “day-tuh” but European speakers tend to say “dah-tuh” – which is incorrect.
If you want to hear how it’s pronounced, just click play on the audio clip below!
Correct Audio Pronunciation of Data – “Day-tuh”
Here’s an audio recording of the data pronunciation:
Let’s break it down into syllables:
- The first syllable is pronounced like “day”.
- The second syllable is pronounced like “tuh”.
If English is your second language, you might find some difficulty getting it right, so I’d suggest showing this to a native English speaker to hear it from them directly.
If you’re still finding it hard to remember, you can start by thinking about the word “gator”, which has a similar pronunciation. From there, mimic the sound and replace the “g” sound with a “d” sound.
Why Are There Different Pronunciations to Data?
There are actually two different ways to pronounce the word data.
“Day-tuh”: The first way, which is how we’ve described it above, is the most common pronunciation in American English and British English.
“Dah-tuh”: The second way is incorrect. However, it is more commonly used by many European speakers, likely due to influences from multiple native accents.
So if you’re ever in doubt, just remember that the correct pronunciation is “day-tuh” and all other versions are incorrect.
Tips for Remembering How to Pronounce Data
If you’re having trouble remembering how to say data, don’t worry!
Here are a few tips that can help:
- Try breaking the word down into smaller parts. The first syllable is pronounced like “day”, and the second syllable is pronounced like “tuh”.
- If you’re still having trouble, try thinking of a word that has a similar pronunciation, like “gator”.
- Practice saying the word out loud a few times until you feel confident.
- Listen to the audio clip below as many times as you need to.
Background of the Word “Data”
The word “data” has Latin origins, and it was first used in the English language in the mid-1600s.
It’s a plural noun that refers to information that’s been collected and can be analyzed. This could be something like statistics, facts, or measurements.
Nowadays, data is often used in reference to computers and the internet. When you hear someone talking about “big data”, they’re usually referring to a large amount of information that’s been collected and needs to be processed.
Plural vs Singular Versions of “Data”
When used as a plural noun, data refers to multiple pieces of information.
On the other hand, when used as a singular noun, it refers to a single piece of information.
Here are some examples:
- Plural: The data shows that sales have increased by 20%.
- Singular: This data is essential for our research.
As you can see, the word “data” can be used in both plural and singular forms. The context will usually determine which one is appropriate.
For example, in the context of “data science”, you’re referring to the entire field as a singular.
When to Use “Datum” vs “Data”
The word “datum” is actually the singular form of data, but it’s not used as often in modern English.
You’re more likely to see “data” used in both singular and plural forms than you are to see “datum”.
Here are some examples of how you might use “datum” in a sentence:
- “I would like to keep this datum in our project report.”
- “All the data collected in this study will be analyzed to see if there are any trends.”
As you can see, “datum” is used when referring to a single piece of information, while “data” can be used for both singular and plural forms.
Common Phrases with Data
Here are some common phrases that you might hear:
- Data point: A single piece of data
- Data set: A group of data points that are related to each other
- Raw data: Data that hasn’t been processed in any way
- Clean data: Data that’s been organized and is ready to be analyzed

Do you write “data are,” or “data is”? What is a “datum”? Is it pronounced “day-tuh” or “da-tuh”? How is this different across industries and cultures? This article shows you how to write and pronounce the word “data,” and how it differs across cultures.
Plurality: “Data are” vs. “Data is”
Strictly speaking, data is a plural word. The correct form of the verb that accompanies it must therefore be in the third person plural (they). Here are some common examples of data + a verb:
- The data are
- The data act
- The data show
- The data represent
- The data communicate
With that said, in common speech, we consider “data” a singular word. Why? It’s just easier to speak and write that way. You most often see data + verb pairs as follow:
- The data is
- The data acts
- The data shows
- The data represents
- The data communicates
Data isn’t exceptional. English speakers use a number of plural words in singular form. It’s a natural evolution of the language, and because there is no governing body of the English language (such as French’s The French Academy), it’s hard to say whether we should lend more credit to the dictionary, or the people who actually speak the language! Here are some other examples courtesy of Dictionary.com:
- Spaghetti (singular spaghetto)
- Kudos (singular kudo)
- Graffiti (singular graffito)
- Algae (singular alga)
- Paparazzi (singular paparazzo)
- Confetti (singular confetto)
- Dice (singular die)
Data vs. Datum
Coming back to data, the question remains: if data is plural, what is it’s singular form? Datum is the singular of data. Used correctly in our examples, it would be:
- The datum is
- The datum acts
- The datum shows
- The datum represents
- The datum communicates
So what does this mean for you? Don’t worry, it shouldn’t change much. Ultimately, it’s up to the individual or the organization to decide if they want to “go by the book” and use data as a plural noun. However, most publishers and organizations prefer to use it as their readers do: the the singular.

Pronunciation: “day-tuh” vs “da-tuh”
As with plurality, the correct pronunciation of “data” and the common way it is pronounced are in conflict. “Day-tuh” is correct, and “da-tuh” is incorrect. Here are two audio files so you can hear the difference:
The Correct Way, “day-tuh”:
The Incorrect Way, “da-tuh”:
Strictly speaking, data should be pronounced “day-tuh.” This pronunciation relies on the rule of open and closed syllables in English. When a consonant (letter other than a, e, i, o, or u) begins the word and is followed by a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u), the default pronunciation is to reflect the alphabetical sound of the vowel (i.e how you say it while reading the alphabet such as “a” “b” “c” etc.). This is a an open syllable.
We can close the syllable by 1. immediately ending the word with a consonant or 2. adding a double consonant after the vowel, in this case “tt” after the “da.” If the word, thus, were written “datta,” then it would be a closed syllable and the pronunciation would be “da-tuh.”
Here are some examples in which an open syllable becomes closed either by the end of the word or a double consonant:
- Rate/rat
- Bute/but
- Bode/bod
- Paste/past (the “e” functions as a syllable closer here)
Data Pronunciation in the USA, in the UK, and in Europe
Regardless of which pronunciation is correct, the “common way” of pronouncing data differs between cultures. In the United States, it goes both ways. Some people say “day-tuh” and others say “da-tuh.” Both are acceptable. As an American, I can assure you that you can use either one.
However, analysts in the United Kingdom, which includes England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, typically use the grammatically correct pronunciation: “day-tuh.”
In continental Europe, English is a second language. As such, Europeans generally defer to both USA standards and UK standards. Because of the mix, either pronunciation is acceptable. As an American living in Europe and speaking French, I can assure you the both pronunciations are acceptable.

Wiktionary marks:

- /ˈdɑːtə/ as Australia, UK formal
Merriam-Webster lists all three pronunciations, and provides a sound file for /ˈdeɪtə/.

There’s no such thing as «correct» pronunciation.
Now, to answer your question, here’s what LPD3 says on this (Wells 2008):
Preference polls
BrE:
ˈdeɪtə 92%
ˈdɑːtə 6%
ˈdætə 2%
AmE:
ˈdeɪțə 64%
ˈdæțə 35%
ˈdɑːțə 1%
NB: ț stands for the (voiced) alveolar tap (flap) here. Wells uses a slightly different symbol, not the usual IPA one.
A historical perspective:
The eleventh edition of Everyman’s Pronouncing Dictionary by Daniel Jones (the 1960 reprint) gives ˈdeitə as the primary variant for British English, whereas dɑːtə is given in brackets, which means, in Jones’ notation, the less frequent form that is still in current use.

That depends on which country you live in and what your definition of «correct» is. The US and Australia, for example, predominantly use «dayta» but New Zealanders say «dahta».
In short, either is correct but different countries’ cultures have different norms.

I vaguely remember being told that day-ta was the correct pronunciation, and that was because there was a vowel (the second ‘a’) following the consonant (the ‘t’). Now whether or not that actually applies, someone please comment because I’d love to know if I was given a load of hogwash there.
Personal experience, I find that I hear and use day-ta more than dah-ta. It is similar to the different ways that ‘SQL’ is pronounced among us techies — some spell it out, and some pronounce it as «sequel». Thinking about it, I find that when it is the word «data» all by itself, I use day-ta, but when it is part of another word («database», for example) I tend to use dah-ta instead. Again, not sure if this is something that I just happened to have picked up over the years or if it is even correct. Anyone else notice the different pronunciation in situations like this?

This question reminds me of the film Gravity. Watch the first five minutes here. On 1:55 you can hear «Houston» (Ed Harris) saying «day-ta»; on 4:47 Dr. Stone (Sandra Bullock) says «Dah-ta», only to be answered «we are not receiving any ‘day-ta’«.
Now, Ed Harris was born in New Jersey and Sandra Bullock is from Virginia, but raised in Nuremberg. It seems that the correct pronunciation of «data» is a matter of geography and not so much of grammar.
Well, I know this is not the most comprehensive study, but I wanted to share an interesting case of ‘day-ta’ vs. ‘dah-ta’.

It’s DAY-ta on Star Trek, which is perhaps the ultimate reference. 
I cannot imagine Patrick Stewart saying «Dah-ta.»
P. S. An editorial reminder (as mentioned earlier) that data is plural; e.g., «the data are clear» not «the data is clear.» Feel free to edit this answer for references to data being either plural or singular in usage. Let’s keep it humorous, if possible.

The NOAD reports the pronunciation as /ˈdædə/ /ˈdeɪdə/, using the American English IPA; using the British English IPA, the pronunciation is /ˈdeɪtə/.
The difference between /ˈdeɪdə/ and /ˈdeɪtə/ is the same difference between /ˈɪdəli/ and /ˈɪtəli/ (the pronunciation for Italy).

Am I the only person who thinks that the first vowel in «dah-ta» would be pronounced the same as the first syllable in «follow» rather than the first syllable in «batter»?
I don’t know how to write that out phonetically, but «dah-ta», to me, would be pronounced «dahh-tahh».
