How to use 拿走
拿走 is a verb plus a direction result, used when someone removes an object from a place. The object often comes between or before it with 把, as in 把 sentences. Example: 谁把我的书拿走了？(Shéi bǎ wǒ de shū názǒu le?) Who took my book away?
拿 (ná) means to take or hold, and you can spot a hand 手 at its bottom. 走 (zǒu) means to go, so 拿走 is simply taking something and going off with it.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 拿走 (take away) with 拿出 (náchū, take out). 拿出 means pulling something out of a bag or drawer, while 拿走 means removing it from where it was. Also keep 走 in the third tone, not the second.
