The change in pronunciation of "de" due to grammatical difference in meaning? de nada = "de" is pronounced like the english worrd "they" Estàn hartos de trabajar = de is hardly pronounced ( i have explained this beeter in audio.) So in both the cases i want to know even though their spelling is the same are they in their meaning different, so basically with the same word you can change the meaning by just pronouncing it different. So that would also mean if i miss pronounce it, i will be misunderstood or more like not understood... ?
