Answer 1

in my experience, tomar en cuenta means 'to consider' or literally - 'to take into account'.

Tomar = take en = in Cuenta = account

No olvides tomar en cuenta que hay un desfile este Domingo y la calle estará cerrada.

Don't forget to take into account that there is a parade this Sunday and the street will be closed.

Hola, no need to capitalize the day of the week. Days of the week, months, languages, etc. are not capitalized in Spanish. ;) - LuisaGomezBartle, Aug 16, 2010

Answer 2

Yes, I believe your correct. At first I was thinking, "Taking the bill" or "I'm getting the bill" but then I remembered that expression is more like, "Invito yo". I am sure the gurus will weigh in soon. I hope this helps get the thread started.
