Tomar vs tomarse

Question

Tómese su tiempo. First I've heard the tomarse construction. Take your time. I wonder if tomarse is only for time. Gracias.

Answer 1

I think that it is being used reflexively in that construction.

Look at some of the links here, especially es hora de tomarse un tiempo

tomarse

Answer 2

"Tómese su tiempo" is reflexive. It needs a reflexive form, because if you say "tome su tiempo" is similar to the sentence "take the time". That is not possible.

I hope to have explain the comparison well.

Answer 3

También tomarse un trago, tomarse un bocado....
