Usage notes
- This word is more often used as an uncountable noun with a singular verb than as a plural noun with singular datum. The latter is almost entirely restricted to formal contexts.
- In geodetic contexts, the word is used exclusively as an uncountable with the singular datum having the plural datums to replace it.
- The definition of data in the computing context is from an international standard vocabulary and is meant to distinguish data from information. However, this distinction is largely ignored by the computing profession.[1]

Conjugation
Swedish
Etymology
Borrowed from Latin data, from the plural of datum (“that which is given, information, facts at hand, a date in the calendar”).
The sense ”computer” is a clipping of datamaskin.
Noun
data c
- (uncountable) information, especially encoded information that can be processed by computers
- (colloquial, proscribed) Alternative form of dator (“computer”)
Usage notes
- The first definition is rarely inflected, but most often used in its basic form. In the definite form, both neuter (datat) and common gender (datan) forms are used. For the compound indata, Google yields 440,000 hits, but only 2110 for indatan and 1200 for indatat. The Latin singular datum is not used in this sense, because it is already used for ”date (in the calendar)”.
- Swedish lacked a good and short word for computer until dator was proposed in 1967. The colloquial data was used in the 1960s and is still used colloquially today, but is usually proscribed. The form dator is also the plural of data, and the plural definite forms datorerna/datorna are very similar.
