Could I say this for: "Jag tag en promenad med hunden"?

You take a promenad by foot, but you åker in a vehicle.

    Gå and åker are verbs. Promenad is a noun. English walk just happens to be the same word for either verb or noun.

    In British English, we usually say 'go for a walk' not 'take a walk'.

    Yes, and they're both accepted.

      I've seen the English noun promenade in only one place (TV's DS9) used many times to mean "a place to walk" in the way a boardwalk is, but apparently there was a time it could be used to mean "a walk", the same as promenad.

      Well, it's not accepted. :)
