I’ve heard ‘take THE decision’ with the definite article in very narrow cases maybe twice. I don’t think I’ve heard it with the indefinite and it’s not common either way.
Same! As a person who was in a relationship with an American for 12 years and visited America several times for months at a time and who has grown up with American and international media all my life and am fluent in English, I’ve never ever heard anyone other than Scandinavians and other Europeans say “take a decision”, because that’s what several of us say in our own languages. Only have I ever heard “make a decision” from native speakers. 😅
At least in the US, I’ve never heard a native English speaker say “take a decision” only make, so maybe joke isn’t on you?
