With a voice on my first, the OP doesn't have me; he lives in a foreign country.
With a raise on my second, the OP simply cannot do me; I am so wild.
With a block on my fourth, the OP has simply done me; so will the answerer.
With a retraction on my fourth, the OP maybe will do me; he wants to be a topologist.
What am I?
Subtle Hint:
It's a 4-letter word.
It's time /tɑjm/.
With a voice on my first, the OP doesn't have me; he lives in a foreign country.
Voice the /t/ to /d/ to get dime, a coin in the USA. The OP's profile indicates he lives outside the USA.
With a raise on my second, the OP simply cannot do me; I am so wild.
Raise /ɑ/ to /e/ to get tame.
With a block on my fourth, the OP has simply done me; so will the answerer.
Make the /m/ a stop to get type.
With a retraction on my fourth, the OP maybe will do me; he wants to be a topologist.
Retract the /m/ to an /ŋ/ to get tying. (Knot theory is a branch of topology.)
