The article clearly stated that it meant all of those things, and whichever meaning is intended for any particular utterance is denoted by both context and tone.
I had no problem understanding the article and came away more informed than confused. Maybe slow down more when you read?
- StavrosK 9y agoI'm just not satisfied by an explanation as clumsy as "oh those wacky Mexicans, it means all of the things". Maybe be more critical when you read?
- mysterypie 9y ago> meaning is denoted by both context and tone The article did give an example of context and tone -- a friendly ice cream vendor on the street -- but it didn't give the English translation for that context.
