Subject: Re: Bring/Take



Bring/take are often interchangeable here in the South--and I wouldn't

guess that it would have anything to do with Yiddish. It is treated

similar to learn/teach. Also, in the rural South where I grew up, the

in-group brings, the out-group takes, i.e. "Bring some cookies home to your

family" vs. "He is going to take some cookies home to his family"
