stereopixels Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) Doesn't anyone consult a dictionary nowadays? Look up 'beta' and it says the pronunciation is 'beeta', and not bay-ta. :) Edited February 11, 2005 by nquinnathome1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_snitch Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 bee-ta sounds retarded and wrong. bay-ta sounds much more normal (must be the kiwi accent :/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 How do the greeks say it? (BTW, I prefer "bay-ta") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereopixels Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 beeta is from the Greek - it's the second letter of the greek alphabet as well as meaning 'beta' in the sense we're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BajiRav Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 bee-ta (Y) I wouldn't say bay-ta since I know Hindi and bay-ta actually means "son" in Hindi!!!! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munashii Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I got used to bee-ta at school thanks to my physics teacher, but I usually just say it as beh-tah, thanks to my fantastic spanish heritage :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioscheine Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 its a pretty well known word to pronounce wrong... unless you have an accent, then its ok if you say it differntly. but since the 70s its been pronounced bAy - Tah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emo Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 the first one. but the better way of writing that pronounciation IMO is "bay-tuh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiagosilva29 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I've listened to that encarta.msn.com and webster sounds. It's more than wrong. Definitely not bay-tah. I don't know how on earth you mutilated the sound of the word. :blink: munashii is right. It's the same in every romantic language. I attached a .wav clip of me saying beta. beta.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mando Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) it is bay-taa Its from the ancient greeks alphabet. (alpha,beta,gamma,delta,epsilon,zeta,eta,theta etc) Greek Alphabet Beta can stand for:*Β or β the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet. Beta should not be confused with a similar-looking but unrelated letter in German language orthography, ?, (beta S) which denotes a voiceless "s" sound.*From its position in the Greek alphabet, beta often stands for the second in a series; e.g., β Centauri for the second brightest star in constellation...:woot:: Edited February 14, 2005 by Mando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
