Pronunciation Differences:

    • Data: /ˈdeɪtə/ – The first vowel is pronounced as a long "a" (/eɪ/), like in "day".  The second syllable has a soft "uh" sound (/ə/).

    • Date: /deɪt/ – The vowel sound is the same long "a" (/eɪ/) as in data, but date has only one syllable.

Key Points:

    • While data and date share a similar vowel sound (/eɪ/), data typically has two syllables, while date is monosyllabic.

    • In American English, data is usually pronounced with a "soft" second syllable ("uh"), and date is one solid syllable.
