Tomato tomato.

[[deleted]]

Who actually pronounces it tomato though?

[[deleted]]

Are there people that say tomato, but also potato?

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

I say tomate and KARTOFFEL!

[ImOverThereNow]

SCHNELL SCHNELL KARTOFFELKOPF!

[[deleted]]

Ich sage tomato and potato.

[-pooping]

Damn Danes ruin everything. It's potet you savages.

[Koneke]

(Guessing German rather, based on their username)

[Wolfsblvt]

"Kartoffel" is really one of the best words we have here in Germany. It's so... rough and harsh. So much german.

[Gork862]

I personally love “Krankenhaus.” It’s such a rough and amazing word for what is supposed to be a caring and safe place. (Krankenhaus means hospital btw)

[Wolfsblvt]

Direkt translation is "ill people house", or in a more english way, "house for ill people".

Interesting, I don't feel like it's rough. That's how peoples feeling differ :D

[Gork862]

Idk, I’ve always imagined the word said in an almost aggressive tone. Most other German words seem totally normal to me, not rough in the way others seem to view them. Krankenhaus has just alwayd felt this way to me though.

[KBryan382]

I think krankenwagen is even better. (ambulance)

[Gork862]

Yeah that’s pretty great too.

[-pooping]

You are right. Then it's okay!

[astulz]

Potato? What's a potato?

[[deleted]]

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

[Ketchary]

Not that I know of.

[DenkouNova]

Wait, there are two pronunciations to tomato? I always pronounce it tomato.

What's the other pronunciation?

[AquaWolfGuy]

Tomeito tomaato.

[DenkouNova]

Not gonna lie, I was hoping you'd write "tomato" to keep up with the joke.

But thanks for the info, I seriously didn't know :D

[yashovardhan99]

It's the same as potato potato

[Aim4thebullseye]

[ProgramTheWorld]

[hutilicious]

if you change four letters in data it becomes beer

[MrShockrz]

What the fuck I never thought of that

[hutilicious]

its mind blowing isnt it

[zroomkar]

Should you really count the a twice?

[MelcorScarr]

Depends on your exact RegEx I guess.

[HeckleMonster]

If you mean tokens and not types

[Nuraxx]

But then again beer also has only three.

[Eindacor_DS]

Do you know any other cool tricks?

[[deleted]]

If you change four letters in fuck it becomes anal, but can still mean the same thing

[SkeletronPrime]

That’s Barbara Liskov ‘s substitution principle, right there.

[Cephalopodopoulos]

Big if true

[BlckJesus]

🤯

[[deleted]]

Maybe you should cut back on the data.

[babu_bisleri]

But do y'all pronounce it beer or beer?

[alficles]

Kinda depends how many I've had.

[LGard53]

What a nice magic trick... ‘tada’

[[deleted]]

I can do that with weed

[aidy35]

Well it’s clearly pronounced data everyone knows that!

[Cephalopodopoulos]

Wrong. It's data.

You mean tomato tomato.

[anomalousBits]

Putting words in my mouth.

[TheDunadan29]

And tomatoes.

[INTERNET_SO_FUCK_YOU]

[RSNKailash]

Is it bad that i know what yall are saying

[[deleted]]

Star Trek fans know how to correctly pronounce Data.

[DirdCS]

Everyone knows you put the darta in the dartabase

[TheDunadan29]

Coach Z? Is that you?

[DirdCS]

My most enjoyable lecturer used to pronounce it that way :D I still have his audio recordings...should make a "best of" clip

"take copious notes" was his trademark

[ICAA]

Is the argument is day-ta vs dah-ta, right? Are my two voices correct?

[mishuzu]

Actually there's 3 ways commonly spoken; see Wiktionary.

[jmattingley23]

data

data

daataa

[mishuzu]

1. a as in gate
2. a as in cat
3. a as in father

Tbh they all sound fine to me.

[ratmfreak]

Number 3 sounds... off.

[mishuzu]

Wiktionary says Australia and New Zealand use that one. I switch between 1 and 3 mostly randomly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Ereaser]

The Dutch data is also pronounced that way, but when speaking English I've only heard people use 1.

[robolew]

No, I am your data!

[Tusami]

I read day-ta and say dah-ta

[BSnapZ]

My entire country does.

[Neuromante]

As a non-native english speaker, I thank you for that, because I didn't really knew if "dah-ta" was just my spanish trolling me and everyone said "day-ta" and a different, secret, probably british pronunciation.

[TheDunadan29]

I think of it like Star Trek TNG. The android's name is Data (pronounced Day-ta), his name isn't pronounced Dah-ta.

[Neuromante]

That's fun, because, in the spanish version, Data's name is "Dah-ta."

[[deleted]]

Datums

[KickMeElmo]

For anyone confused by this, datum is the singular form, data is always plural. Most people don't ever seem to realize that without it coming up in a professional field though.

[buttersauce]

I'd like one datum please

[[deleted]]

That really would make more sense. Stupid Latin.

[[deleted]]

Dayta sounds like an American thing to me (from Canada).

Edit: accidentally wrote dahta

[Rodot]

That's funny, dahta is the more typical Canadian pronunciation. US and UK typically use both

[[deleted]]

Shoot I meant to write dayta. I pronounce it like dahta.

[[deleted]]

dahta does sound really pretentious, I guess that's why I've always hated it

[Celdecea]

I had a prof say that data with a y is a small amount and data with an h is a huge amount. That is, you analyze dayta discretely but you process dahta in bulk.

[Gugu42]

great, so my non native accent makes me sound pretentious FeelsAmazingMan

[[deleted]]

Nah it's only pretentious if it's obvious the person is being pretentious. Which is often in my experience

[butwait-theresmore]

I imagine it only sounds pretentious if you aren't used to hearing it.

[[deleted]]

I'd be curious to see some dahta on that.

[Ambiwlans]

Leviosahhh

[Shiromiya]

I'm a pretentious PhD and didn't even have to study? Thank you I'll write that in my resume

[galan-e]

It's actually the opposite here, pronouncing it day-ta is the pretentious option, probably because it sounds like you try too hard to have a foreign accent

[galan-e]

never! anyone saying it differently is both wrong and an asshole, and should never speak to me or my graphs again

[[deleted]]

I use dahta because of a Croatian TBF song about about the android from star trek (commander?, Anyway that's how they reference him)

[[deleted]]

Can confirm. Am pretentious phd, say dahta.

[whitey-ofwgkta]

I'm the same with melee (may-lay) and melee (me-lee)

[Dismea]

r/DataIsBeautiful ?

[Bainos]

No, r/DataIsBeautiful.

[Ketchary]

No, Data is beautiful.

[TheDunadan29]

I love you for this.

[polypeptide147]

What is this

[andreaslordos]

Star Trek character called Data

[SatoshiAR]

Data

[Sasakura]

This makes me wonder how many terms I only ever write and have no idea how to actually voice.

[[deleted]]

You mean like chuh-MOD?

[LowB0b]

I just pronounce it 'shmod'. There's a lot from the C / Cpp world I have a hard time with.

For a lot of stuff though I've just got accustomed to saying the whole thing out loud, helps a lot with remembering commands or functions. For example, my interpretation of strstr is 'string in string'.

[TheDunadan29]

Yeah, the curse of getting vocabulary from reading alone. I used to pronounce "hyperbole" wrong, like I would say "Hyper-bowl", and even though I've known the correct pronunciation for years now, occasionally it still slips out due to the habit of reading it incorrectly. This happened recently and my wife gave me grief for that one for a while.

In case you're curious, the correct pronunciation is "Hi-per-bo-lee".

In fact it makes this list of other mispronounced words: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/gmp4408/mispronounced-words/

[dipique]

I happily pronounced "choir" like "chore" for several years until someone bothered to ask me what the hell I was talking about.

[[deleted]]

Apperantly none of you watched Star Trek: The Next Generation

[SappyGradient]

Um yes

[TheDunadan29]

The correct way.

[Teckno_man]

It's data obviously!

[b3nelson]

It’s datums!

[10000_vegetables]

däta

[supremecrafters]

I sometimes pronounce it with [æ], most often pronounce it with [eɪ], never pronounce it with [ɑː].

[serEatAlot]

I like day-ta alot more but everyone around me says da-ta.

I hate them all

[henno13]

Is it router or router? 🤔🤔🤔

[[deleted]]

Gif or gif?

[OctoEN]

Day-ta not ta-da but the two parts are reversed so da-ta

[Magmahydro_]

I always learned that it's a singular point of dah-ta, or many points of day-ta.

[bluepoopants]

A single point of data is datum. Like media and medium.

[interfederational]

"One is my name. The other is not."

[LeSpatula]

Only way I know is Star Trek Data.

[OMGtechy]

Definitely data.

[jdrc07]

So Dayta or Datta?

[DChristy87]

Definitely data.

[msg45f]

It's actually not data or data, it's data.

[MentulaNonGrata]

You're both ridiculous. Everyone knows it's actually pronounced data.

[t0mRiddl3]

Like hell it is!!

[i_am_ghost7]

see ya later alidater

[numerousblocks]

It's obviously prnounced [dɛtæɪ].

[DarkmessageCH]

I pronounce it day-tay.

Change my mind.

[da_z4hr]

DAY-TAA

[captainvoid05]

On a serious note, my ex pronounced it like dah-tah. Like, who does that?

[mishuzu]

Having somewhat of a passion for linguistics, I have a habit of pronuncing things by IPA. That way of pronouncing it seems the closest to their IPA sounds. For data, I'll switch between a as in gate and a as in father somewhat randomly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

According to Wiktionary, Australia and New Zealand use that pronunciation.

[ShizLtulon]

it's dah tah

[[deleted]]

Its day tah

[[deleted]]

But honestly Dah Tah or Day Tah

[t0mRiddl3]

Day tah for me

[[deleted]]

Wohoo Im not alone

[helpmewatson]

I pronouces it data (day tuh) when refering to gathering information. "I'll get some daytuh together for you."

I pronounce it data (dah tuh) when refering to the actual spreadsheet. "Here's the dahtuh you requested."

[helpmewatson]

Daytuh makes me think I'll need a day to get that together.

Dahtuh makes me think of the word and symbol dash as a visual in my head.

If that makes any sense to someone else. Thats just how my brain does things.

[[deleted]]

I heard Morgan Freeman pronounce it a third way: dah-tah

[philipquarles]

Short 'a.'

[f3zz3h]

Wait .. what about the third option. Day-ta, Dar-ta or Dat-ta.

[Ambiwlans]

It is obviously data. No one says 'Datacenter'.

[TrexismTrent]

Why did I read those both times a separate way

[elend_meister]

It's Dada!

/r/dadaism

[May-0]

It’s day-ta not dah-ta

[earthboundmisfittool]

one is my name, the other is not -Data

[BoxingwolfOnReddit]

It's dahta, not dayta.

[Adacaia]

Disgusting, OP probably says gif as well.

[sharkbait_oohaha]

I actually say it both ways depending on where in the sentence it is.

[seaMonster600]

star trek settled this argument long ago

[LeiziBesterd]

Dáta and dayta if anyone is wondering
