Example: the word 'bargain' can be a noun or a verb, but if it's a noun there would usually be an article.
Once you venture out of a dictionary or "the queens English" the English language is "completely mental" for lack of a better term.
"I canny like it, she's a canny lass. Though she canny sing, like!"
> I [kind of] like it, she's a [pretty] lass (girl). Though she [can't] sing like!"
or,
"haway man" - That's awesome
"haway man" - I can't believe it (are you ok?)
"haway man" - Why would you do that?
"haway man" - Hurry up, lets go
"haway man" - Lets fight
"haway man" - Have some sympathy
"haway man" - Shut up
+ however many more. All purely tonal.
Then you have different parts of England calling the same things completely different things.. I'm not going to start the "great bread debate"![]()
.. though I am still a bit sore that after moving from midlands to north no one knows what a "saveloy" is.
Ah, sorry, but after this I cannot avoid posting about the meanings of "pòta" ['pɔ.tɑ] in Brescia (Italy)

"pòta" - I'm flabbergasted
"pòta" - I don't know (I'm not sure)
"pòta" - It will be what it will be, I'm resigned
"pòta" - Yes, it was my fault, I admit it
"pòta" - It was not only my fault, you should consider there were adverse circumstances
"pòta" - It was not my fault at all. It was your fault, actually [in this case it's usually followed by expletives
]
