I learn things

There are two different phrases for participating in an interview, depending on if you're the one asking questions or answering them. I can never remember which is which. So I ask.

Turns out:
брать интервью - brat' interv'iu - to take (that is, to ask the questions)
давать интервью - davat' interv'iu - to give (that is, to answer)

This sets up one of the best RODs-to-date:

ROD

Она дает. (from the same verb, "to give") - Ona daiot. - She puts out.
