I wish they would only take me as I am.
—Vincent Van Gogh
To take means: To acquire something with your hands, to bring or carry something, to
receive.
Vincent Van Gogh was was a Dutch painter.
But this quote is something we might have all felt at some point: wanting to be accepted for who you are.
When you take something, you physically remove it. You take what people give you, take what belongs to you, and take your time when you’re doing something.
The word is used to talk about requiring or using up some period of time. For example, will it take you a week to learn this word or a day?
