I asked a French-speaking friend how to say "I took it off the table". She said "Je l'ai enlevé de sur la table", which translates to "I took it away/removed it from on the table". Apparently, there isn't any direct equivilent. You have to use a circumlocution.
Oh. Great.

I think it sounds so much more polite.
In my limited experience, everything sounds nicer in French. My favorite example - Sortez la poubelle! -- which is Take out the garbage!
