How do YOU pronounce BETA?

[Shodan]

A lot of people argue about pronouncing it like BEAT-A or BAY-TA, but actually, the true way to pronounce it is B-EH-TA because it's a Greek word, not an English word.

[ʙᴜɴ.ᴇ]

be uh

in my accent at least.

[HepaD]

In polish:
B - Bag
E- Egg
T - Tea
A - Army

No way to say greek, latina words with an accent.

Beta isn't an acronym, which is why you can't find an answer. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta are the testing phases in software development (though only alpha and beta see mainstream use these days) which are the first four letters of the Greek alphabet. There isn't any more to it than that.

Though Fallout76 called their beta "break-it Early Test Application" which is slightly amusing considering how the game ended up launching.

Bay-tah

[Mino]

I pronounce it, just like it written.

[L7vanmatre]

Bay-tah, sometimes I say beh-duh, like pronouncing it like it's written. I've heard others go "bee tuh" though.
