More importantly, how do you get 3 pages of posts on the pronunciation of a 2 syllabub word?

Same way as the Star Trek TNG character... And I've lived in a number of different countries and regions therein, so... *shrug*

I'm in Spanish 1! Como te llamas? Me llamo Connor. Oh, and what is more popular, Me llamo or Me numbre es?

by **Our Lady Skye Sweetnam** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:49 pm

I used to to say Day-tuh, but now I say Da-ta, just because it sounds more refined to me.
I live in California, originally from Oregon.

How many people have brought this up so far? I am guilty of it though.

Add a poll maybe.

I say Day-Tah, just like the android on Star Trek: TNG. You know what, I'm surprised no one has made a picture of Commander Data, holding a Droid phone by now.

Me llamo is more popular I believe.

Mi nombre es is very popular too. It depends on the speaker.

by **Brandenburg-Altmark** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:53 pm

I say it like on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

by **JJ Place** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:54 pm

Da-dah, I pronounce the word.

All I've typically heard is 'Me llamo', and I live near Mexico and I'm also 1/8 Spanish.

And I've heard both, and I'm from Spain. It really depends on the speaker. Some choose to say 'Mi nombre es' and others choose to say 'Me llamo'.

Day-tah (singular), Southern Ontario.

by **Vanilla Farms** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:57 pm

daytah

by **The Floridian Coast** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:58 pm

I say both at random times.

by **Hobit** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:59 pm

Da-ta and day-tah. California, middle next to the Sierra Nevadas to be exact.

by **UCUMAY** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 8:01 pm

I say it both ways depending on context. Da-tah for statistics and day-tah when referring to other research.
