Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

The key here is direction: apporter/amener focuses on going to somewhere whereas emporter/emmener focuses on going from somewhere

apporter/amener can be thought of as « à + porter, à + mener » where « à » is the preposition meaning 'to'
emporter/emmener can be thought of as « en + porter, en + mener » where « en » is the adverbial pronoun meaning 'of, from, about'

The staying/not staying with them part is a secondary meaning and is not the principal meaning; for all intents and purposes, it's either bringing someone/something to some place (amener/apporter) or taking someone/something from some place (emmener/emporter)
