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" Big Grin 
.. 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)  Big Grin

"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  Big Grin ]
