Oh boy. Dangerous. 2 meanings for one word with 2 very different possible outcomesPete
I remember when I was living in Thailand and trying to figure out the Thai language with its 5 different tones. The same word said 5 different ways with different tone inflections meant 5 different things . There was one word said with a monotone voice that meant a girl was very pretty. The same word said with a high pitched tone meant “Cow”. It only took me a very short time to learn two things …. 1. The difference in the two tones for that word.
2. To stop trying to learn the Thai language on my own !!!
