Transcribing the programme 'INDIAN MATHS' I have encountered hard to understand section, I’ve marked it by putting the unintelligible section in the double parentheses (()). I guess that the pronounced phrase was ((Do you first)). Do you hear the same?
Here goes the transcribed passage:
“How do you deal with that? So amazingly enough, we find that the religious texts also talk about these mathematical notions and the ideas of countability, as Colva said, do come in. 12:55 ((Do you first)), how the finite sets, eight million that’s finite, is large, but it’s finite. And then you have the concept of infinity about individuals existing, and they must be counted one, two, three, four and you go on for ever, but then 13:09 ((it come)) the large infinities of time and space. 12:41 is a timestamp. After downloading the programme, open RealPlayer, then press CRL-E and put 00:12:41. In that way you will get straight to the incomprehensible section.”
In fact, as you can see there are two phrases.
Thank you in advance for your answers (either of the phrases). Darek
PS. You can download or listen to the programme here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime.shtm...

you come ---- you first
No "do" in the first one; "you" not "it" in the second.
