What are the opposite words for take away?
The term 'take away' is a common phrasal verb used in English. It implies carrying something from one place to another. In this context, antonyms for 'take away' can be the verbs like 'add', 'increase', 'give', 'deliver', or 'bring'. For example, instead of taking away something from someone, one might add or give something to them.
