peer agreement (net): +3mengantarkan surat Explanation: I am coming in here to see if, in the opinion of Indonesian speakers, there is a difference in meaning between the two equivalents of 'deliver' given by Echols & Shadily: 1. menyampaikan and 2. mengantarkan. To me 'deliver' suggests that this is the main task of the deliverer whereas to 'drop off' a letter suggests something done on the way home or in the course of some other mission. So, right or wrong, I have proposed 'mengantarkan' for this second meaning. |
