I can. The Thai language tones literally define the word. One can say the Thai word "mai" in all five Thai tones and get five different meanings. English uses stress and intonation to highlight important parts of a sentence or to show emotion. In English (UNLIKE THAI), the stress and/or intonation does NOT change the meaning of the word.
