  • If by to take away you mean 'to take something somewhere' (French: emmener, emporter), then classical Arabic does not use أَخَذَ, which means 'to take' (French: prendre) in classical Arabic. I don't know if MSA uses أَخَذَ in the sense of 'to take something somewhere' (French: emmener, emporter).

    To use أبعد in this case would be very strange and confusing. Honestly, there are many many ways in which one can say to take something away to...However, those are mainly in Levantine dialect. I'm not sure if they would apply to MSA or classical Arabic. But there are tons of ways in which this can be said in the Levantine dialect.

    For your example I’d say either أخذ الحليب إلى بيته or ذهب به إلى بيته.

    أبعد implies he sent it away - as in, it’s now far but he didn’t take it himself. أخذ alone won’t work because it just means to take and does not imply “away”. But ذهب به might, as it implies he left and took it with him in some contexts.

    Take away could have a lot of different meanings:
    To take somewhere (as in your example): ذهب ب, أخذ إلى أو أخذ بعيدا.
    To take by force (the mother took the toy away as punishment): أخذ وانتزع وحرم might work.
    To remove (he took away the rubbish): أزال is best.
    To take off (he took away his clothes): نزع وخلع
    Minus (three take away two is one): طرح ناقص
    To buy ready-made food and eat it at home (let’s get some take away pizza - BE, same as AE take out): طعام سفري.

    That’s what I can think of from the top of my head. I’d say it depends on context.
