Here I come again, with my weird survey.
People, do you drop the t in "mustn´t imagine (Nimagine)", "mustn´t it (Nit)"? Or do you link the t into the vowel?

Obrigada!
:-o
 
Yes. I say mussnt. I drop the first t and merge the second with following vowel.

I'm not sure that the question was about pronouncing "mustn't" as "mussnt". I think it was whether or not we drop the final "t" between "mustn't" and "it". I think I do - it sounds like "mussen-it" or "muss'n-it" when I say "mustn't it".

Hello, emsr! Incidentally, what do you do when you say: "will they", "health"? Do you have an interdental th in these words? Thanks! :?:
