Indonesian + Malaysian — Ind1 : 1290
S1 = Indonesian male
S2 = Malaysian female
Context: S1 is talking about his background in research.
S1 : ... basically i was trained as erm (.) liter- literary MAN in the sense i study arabic literature
S2 : hm-mm
S1 : i went to cairo a little bit frustrated
Intended Words: I went to Cairo
Heard as: ____
Discussion: S2 sould not understand this, and she just left a gap '____' in her transcript. It is a little surprising that she did not understand Cairo, as they discussed S1's time there at length earlier in the conversation. Its pronunciation as [kæro], and the fact that it was spoken fast and not very loudly may have contributed to the problem.
