I am what survives if it's slain - Zack Hemsey

That's a really good question... Hmmm?

It is a really good question! Difficult to explain, too!  :P

(Depends on the context).

I seem to be getting worse, not better. This morning I finally gave up and threw my phone in frustration.

I'm going to say "tomar" is like take a drink.

"Levar" is take as in lift something.

"Pegar" is just take.

"Tirar" is like take away or pull away from someone/something.

Those are my guesses.

I want to guess.  :oooh-me!:
Tomar: to drink. To take/grab.
Levar: To carry something from one place to another.
Pegar: To glue. To hit/strike.
Tirar: To throw. To pull. To shoot.

That's ok, these things are meant to be fun and frustrating, not a chore and frustrating. ;)

Maybe Duolingo's methodology isn't working for you.  :-\

Tomar, levar, pegar and tirar all mean 'to take' but they differ in the words they can also mean, so it depends on the context.

In general, 'tomar', 'pegar' and 'tirar' are used to describe something that is taken from someplace whereas 'levar' is something that is taken/carried somewhere.

One down, three to go. :chin:

'Tirar' by itself can be also used to mean taking something from inside something. 'Pegar could also be used, but with accompanying words, such as 'pegar de dentro do/da...'

(The struggle continues...) :whew:

'Tomar' is commonly used to mean take something from someone whereas 'pegar' is a generic 'to take'. :grin:

Very close! :smilenod:

Yes, 'tomar' can mean take a drink as well, as in 'tomar um gole' (literally take a swallow :P).

Just don't ever say you took someone somewhere using 'pegar', which is also slang for 'to hook up with'.  ;D

The Spanish language influence is there (pegar and tirar) :P

Penso, logo existo. Mas o que eu sou ?; essa é a questão. Meu destino está escrito desde o início ou estou me criando com minhas ações? Ou são os dois? Tenho uma natureza essencial ou sou simplesmente um espectador de uma cena de confusão em massa?
