the /t/ is often eluded in casual talk. Actually you can always say
(oot) it will be fine. In a formal speech or in a do***entary film
comment, the pronunciation would clearly be (oot)
I feel that it also depends on the surrounding words:
I someone ask me when i leave for vacation I would say:
- En ao=FBt (oot)
maybe because /en (oo)/ sounds like /En nous/
But it is highly subjective. Pronouncing the t is never a mistake
though.
