Take me where the sun is shining

[AirbusA321]

Take me where the sun is shining.
Can this sentence be interpreted in both of these ways?

1 Bring me to a place where the sun is shining.
2 Have sex with me at a place where the sun is shining.

:shock: Ahem, well, actually yes! "Take me" is a way of saying "Have sex with me"! In fact, it's actually the more grammatically justifiable of the two. For it to mean the first, it should be "Take me to where the sun is shining". However, you will hear the version without "to" from native speakers.

Take me where you were happy = Take me to where you were happy.
Take me where your mum lived = Take me to where your mum lived.

Bring me to a place where the sun is shining.

You'll often hear American and Irish English speakers say 'bring' when speakers of other versions would say 'take'.

You and I bring things with us when we come, and take them with us when we go. But younger speakers of AmE never take at all; they only bring.

I have written about this years ago in this forum. I have to keep reminding myself that we are describers, not prescribers.
