Мой друг заберёт вас в 9:00 or мой друг приедет за вами в 9:00
I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
iCake have I insulted the client by using "vzyat'". Does it has the same meaning with the English phrase: "I want to take you = have sex with you"
It has. I'm not sure whether the client's been insulted though.Originally Posted by Antonio1986

Что сделать? Единственный способ выучить русский ... практиковать и делать ошибки.
Практиковать ошибки?
Я не думаю, что клиент не понял или обиделся. Честно говоря, я один раз только встретил "взять" в значении "трахнуть" в книге, переведенной с английского.
Antonio, this is other family of the verbs which can be difficult for a non native Russian speaker.
For example, you can't say "мой друг приедет взять вас в 09:00", but it's common to say "мой друг возьмет вас с собой" or "мой друг может взять вас с собой" (it's not your case, though, because you implied specific time and it needs a perfective verb).
Can one use довозить/довезти ? Or some other prefixed -возить/-везти?
Seraph, Yes, but it's used for "bring" mostly. It's also close to "deliver".
Я довез его до дома.
Я могу довезти тебя до магазина.
Мне пришлось довозить товар много раз. ("довозить" here means to bring something by transport, usually because it was not enough)
Also a very common verb is "подвозить/подвезти".
It can mean "to give a lift".
Я подвожу ее на работу каждый день.
Я подвезу тебя.
Я могу подвезти тебя.
Вы не могли бы подвезти меня до города?
IMHO, no, it hasn’t.It has.
Please correct my English
It most definitely has. The thing is it's used mostly in translated movies and etc.

It has, but in that context which was provided by Antonio I guess it hasn't. Or the client had to have very good imagination.
