Could you show me the meaning of the word "来" in these sentences ?
你带来词典了吗?
你妈妈寄来信了吗?

 

来 is used as a directional compliment

it tells the listener the result of the action and watch direction the actions is

 

带 = bring or carry ... but

来 (comes towards the speaker) tells what direction you are carrying (带) the object.

<address>去(take the action away from the speaker) so 带去 (means take this away)</address>

起来(bring the action up) or (keep doing the action) (带起来)means bring the action up toward the speaker or keep carrying the action until i tell you to do something else.
