Indonesian + Taiwanese — Ind2 : 2449

S1 = Taiwanese female
S2 = Indonesian male

Context: They are talking about different kinds of outdoors exercise. S2 has said that he had to stop going to Shahbandar, a forest trail in Brunei, because the hills are too steep and vigorous.

S1 : i have to tell david to s- (.) stop doing (.) this

S2 : yeah er at shahbandar actually are big steps

S1 : hash

S2 : yeah step is very harsh yes right yeah ...

Intended Words: hash

Heard as: harsh

Discussion: This is one of the few instances in this conversation where S2 misunderstands S1. S1 mentions the Hash (also known as the Hash House Harriers), a group of people who go trekking in the forest once a week; but S2 mishears this as harsh, partly because this fits in with the topic of conversation, about what kind of exercise is too vigorous.
