Common forms generated by rule; see the senses for honorific or irregular usage.
- Synonym持ってくるもってくるNeutralEveryday verb for bringing something to where you are; far more common in speech than the formal 「持参」, which appears mostly in written notices like 「弁当持参」.
- Synonym持っていくもっていくNeutralEveryday verb for taking something along; the usual spoken choice, whereas 「持参」 is formal and, being direction-neutral, covers both taking and bringing.
- Synonym持ち込むもちこむNeutralMeans carrying something into a place, and by extension raising a problem or proposal there; 「持参」 simply stresses taking something along with you.
- Antonym持ち帰りもちかえりNeutralNoun for taking food etc. home instead of eating it there, as in takeout; it contrasts with 「持参」 only in the bring-versus-take-home direction, not a true antonym.
Use 「持参」 in formal written notices for bringing or taking items along, as in 「弁当持参」. In everyday speech say 「持ってくる」 for bringing and 「持っていく」 for taking; use 「持ち込む」 for bringing something into a venue or raising an issue, and 「持ち帰り」 for takeout.
