Which response comes back when I ask the receptionist, "Could I have hot tea?" How does "Up" work? Is it just emphasis or is it necessary?

@tulie The "up" is used often when talking about a subject, like "That is a good idea. Who brought it up?". The "up" in relation to bringing a physical thing is often used when you are in a room that is placed higher than the person, who is bringing the thing. For example, if you are in a hotel and the kitchen is on a floor below your room, then someone could say to you "We will have your dinner brought up right away."

They can mean the same thing, namely that someone will bring you a thing shortly. The first sentence can also mean that someone will say something about a certain subject shortly.

@abzalon Well, your second sentence meaning... ah, I got it! I brought it up! Thank you. :-)
Do you often add "up", or without it? Does it depend on the situation or something?

@abzalon I see. "Up" indicates the bringing direction.
