Indonesian + Taiwanese — Ind2 : 23

S1 = Taiwanese female
S2 = Indonesian male

Context: S2 is discussing the pronunciation of a name.

S2 : because many of them pronounce wrongly (.) so meaning either nik or ik or (.) but er the correct one [S2:name] you know but i don’t mind because this ah eventually i have to hear

Intended Word: correct

Heard as: great

Discussion: There is minimal aspiration on the initial consonant of correct -- the VOT is about 23 ms, so S1 heard it as [g] rather than [k]. In addition, there is just a glottal stop rather than the consonant cluster [kt] at the end of the word.
