When do we say or use via (vaya)? and
When do we say or use via (viya)?

It's a question of pronunciation; some people say one, some say the other.

[Rover_KE]

I say vaya when it's on the front of a bus: 'Blackburn via Darwen', and viya when it's the name of an Italian street.

Maybe we need to do a survey to see if people who say dayta say vie-uh, and people who say dah-tuh say vee-uh... or the other way round!

[SoothingDave]

I've always pronounced it "vee-uh" like it's Italian (or Latin, rather).

[BobK]

One way to be sure of the pronunciation is to say /baɪ'wejǝv/

Survey # 1
Via - vaya
Data - dayta

I tried to search about this, when say via (vee-aa) or when say via (vaa-ya)

First i got that both have a place in pronunciation. you can pronounce both.

but what i got, you can pronounce one for a different situation or meaning and for other too.. .

for example, Mr. abc will return home via (vaa-ya) Britain and France.

and Translators can now work from home, via (vee-ya) email system.

Is it?

[SoothingDave]

There is no difference in meaning or usage. Some people say it one way, others the other.

[BobK]

There is no difference in meaning or usage. Some people say it one way, others the other.

But pavanksm suggested that the two different pronunciations might have different applications [U]in the same speaker[/U. In my usage this is true only to a very limited extent; I use the Latinate* pronunciation only for Italian street names and the names of Roman roads.

PS * I think people know what I mean by this: /vi:ǝ/. But the other way (/vaɪǝ/) was also derived from the accepted scholarly pronunciation for Classical Latin at one time in England: hence the /aɪ/ pronunciation commonly used in words used (especially in legal contexts) in England today - bona fide, prima facie, viva voce etc.
