Any vocalization or pronunciation shown here is pedagogical unless the cited source itself is pointed.WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
תנן / דתנן and תניא / דתניא
These forms tell you what kind of earlier source is being cited. תנן points to Mishnaic teaching; תניא introduces tannaitic teaching outside the Mishnah, conventionally a baraita. A prefixed ד־ connects the citation into the current sentence. Source type matters because the Gemara treats different layers of tradition differently.
