"live these finite fragile lives that"

[svetlana14]

I cannot make it out at 01:23 of [

]. I hear a sort of "live these finite fragile lives that". Could you look into this?

You've got it exactly right.

Is it true that he says in the way (at least I hear this) that the last sound "t" is dropped and he says "finite" like FAINAIF?

The /t/ is not exploded, but the stop is there.

The /t/ is not exploded, but the stop is there.

Just to clarify - By noting that the/t/is not exploded do you mean that there is no glotall stop there. I understand that glottal stop is when I can drop the sound (there is no any attempt even to produce it). The stop effect suggets that I try to produce the sound but stop. Is it correct?

You have misunderstood what you have read/heard about the glottal stop. This may help.

There is no glottal stop in the words we are discussing.
