Notas de uso
- Very colloquial and polysemous. For neutral “take/bring someone somewhere,” prefer portare or accompagnare; menare can sound old-fashioned, regional, or idiomatic.
- For “to beat up,” Italians often say menare qualcuno or menare le mani. Picchiare is the more straightforward, common synonym.
- With vehicles, guidare is the standard verb. Menare for “drive” is literary, dialectal, or limited to fixed expressions.
