I will argue this till the end of time.
I swung, I smashed his telemarketing brains all over the room.
If you're gonna argue it you should probably be aware who the subject of the sentence is and who is doing what. I explained it. She asked §m£ÂgØL to (verb) borrow. So §m£ÂgØL is the subject and the action verb would then be LEND as it's what he is doing. Lol I even showed you how it just needs a few words switched for 'borrow' to be correct.
May I borrow?
Will you lend?
It's really thar simple.
If you wanted 80 dollars you wouldnt say "may I lend 80 dollars?" -

Lend means ‘give something to someone for a short time, expecting that you will get it back’. The past simple and the -ed form are lent:
I never lend my CDs to anyone.
I lent Gary £30. (I expect that Gary will return this to me)
Borrow is a regular verb meaning ‘get something from someone, intending to give it back after a short time’:
Could I borrow your pen for a minute, please?
Laura used to borrow money from me all the time.
Typical error
When you give something, you lend it; when you get or receive something, you borrow it:
Can I borrow your dictionary?
Not: Can I lend your dictionary? -

Trying to teach Octavian grammar of the the only language he speaks is like trying to teach a chimpanzee calligraphy. Fascinating but ultimately pointless. -

I know his own language and history better than him.
I think he's just mad because he rents a place for 300 GBP a month. I can only imagine where it is and what it looks like. -

'Will you lend me your dictionary' works.
'lend' is not a transitive verb so of course you can't use it the same. what kind of shit were you trying to prove?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Oh my torvalds.
Of course 'will you lend me.." works. It's correct.
"Will you borrow me.." is incorrect. -

2020-07-06 at 9:16 PM UTCI've really gotten under Octavians skin.
I'm not even particularly successful. I mean I guess 2-3 times more successful than him, but that isn't much. Yet it's so enraging to him he has to pretend my job is telesales. I guess it's harder than facing up to the fact there are people online who are way less of a loser than you.
