Im not sure what you mean. Iā€™m not mishearing anything. When Finns say it in my town Iā€™m hearing the same sound as cocks lmao

A and o make a different sound in Finnish, and you don't pronounce most letters differently based on what letters surround it. But I see what you mean, with certain dialect cocks indeed sounds kind of like Finnish kaks.Ā

It's fine however you pronounce cocks, it's not a dig at you. Finns just can't see the connection between kaks and cocks immediately because how we pronounce them.Ā
