There is a 90% chance whatever I borrow to someone, it will be damaged upon return. I don't get it, because there is a < 5% chance of me damaging something I borrow. Perhaps I have the wrong friends.
lend.
I think some European languages have the same word for both lend* and borrow (German?): is that actually the case?
We also use the same word for nephew and cousin.
I'm not sure about German, but they do got "sea" and "lake" mixed up ;)
