pick up 집어들다/데리러오다/사오다/눈치채다/익히다

1. ‘데리러 오다’의 pick up 
Can you pick me up at 5:30?
응용표현: 5:30-ish (다섯시 반 쯤) / 5:30 sharp (다섯시 반 딱 맞춰서)
Drop me off at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp. *시간 뒤에 ‘sharp’를 붙이면 ‘딱 맞춰서/늦지말란’란 경각심을 줌.

2. Pick up: (간단히) 사오다.
I’ll go pick up some coffee. 내가 가서 커피좀 사올게. (go and pick up을 줄려서 가서 사오다란 의미)
특히 상대를 위해 간단히 뭔가를 사올 때 buy 보다 get이나 pick up이 상대부담을 줄여줌.
Picked you up some coffee.
And I picked up some Chinese food for dinner.

3. (숨겨진 뉘앙스나 목적 등을 집어들듯) 눈치채다/알아채다 = pick up (on)
Did you guys pick up on that? 너희들도 눈치 챘어?
How did you not pick up on that? 어떻게 그걸 눈치 못챈거야?
When did you pick up on that? 그거 언제 눈치 챘어?

4. pick up의 마지막 핵심 의미! ~을 익히게 되다/ 배우다 / 알게 되다. 
(살면서 우연히 주워들은 것들이나 어깨너머로 배운 것들은 pick up!)
I picked up some German. 어깨 너머로 독일어 배웠어.
I did pick up some German during my stewardess days. 스튜어디스 시절 때 독일어를 좀 배우긴 했었는데. 
Well, it’s sort of a bad habit I picked up being a reporter.
‘habit’과 같이 쓰여 안좋은 습관을 익힐 때도 자주 쓰임

pick up = learn something new
I'm impressed with how fast your dog picks up new commands.
Kongju is picking up new commands already.
So how did you pick up Spanish?
