Here some funny examples (from my childhood) of how important is
correct stress in order to understand spoken language:

OSTerBEN, OSTerBEN, du der Menschen VERderBEN! (From ist stress
totally nonsensical German)
O StERben! O StERben! Du der Menschen VerdERben! (The same
sentence stressed correctly!)
(doi nunmrobi'o noi li'i daspo ro remna)

bluMENtopferde (What kind of horses????)
BLUmentopfERde (Blumen-Topf-Erde)
(loi dertu selpatxu be sesau lo xrula) 

co'o mi'e .aulun.
