Just so there is a link between English and Spanish threads, here's where the equivalent question has been asked in Spanish: http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=7240

Well just the word Go means ir.

Take means tomar o llevar.

Bring means traer.


I hope that I don't be in a wrong.

Perdón por la ignorancia. ¿Qué significa emplejo?

Oh. Sorry. That must be a local term. I'll try google translate. hold on just a sec...

¿Lugar de trabajo? That should be right. Where I live we just say Emplejo. My bad! :o

empleo = workplace

Study up on the difference between ir/venir and llevar/traer. The point of reference is different in Spanish, so you'll trip up if you don't pay attention.

For instance, the Spanish translation of "I'm coming" (when you're called) is "voy."

Now I understand, and like Rusty said is empleo

Tomo un empleo = I take/get employment

Voy al/a mi empleo = I am going to my workplace/employ
