Actually Matt that depends on how many short-cuts the sentence-producer is taking, if the sentence has a regular or standard syntax then it can be parsed before the meaning is clear.
Even in English, syntax is important, and there are standard ways of saying things. If the syntax is arranged differently you may have difficulty parsing it, for instance if I use post-positions instead of pre-positions. this sentence example an is syntax-grammar of different.
