Answer 1

In Spanish or English? Your profile does not tell us.

I guess English.

The bank lent me some money - to lend (give)

I borrowed some money from the bank - to borrow (take)

I hope this helps.

Lmao, you beat me to it. ;) - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011

Answer 2

To lend .......Prestar

To borrow ........ Pedir prestado

Answer 3

I had a friend in High School that would often turn to me in line at a fast food restaurant and say, "Can you borrow me a dollar?". I would turn to somebody next to us and say, "Can you lend me a dollar for my friend?".

See how my friend was wrong with the word borrow?

He meant... "Can you lend me a dollar?".

Answer 4

Lend means to give something and borrow means to take something.

Example:

My brother lent me a book.

I borrowed a book from my brother.
