English Pod presenter were explaining the difference between the words lend and barrow. The word barrow mean take. for example, can I barrow your bicycle? Which is can I take it from you. It is also mean take it, but return it after finish using it. However, the word lend mean give. For example, can you lend me your bicycle?
In that case you can not say can barrow me your bicycle? So, it is wrong. Also, they that we can use the word barrow for money. For instance, can I barrow 5 dollars from you, I will pay it back next week. Here the word pay mean return it all not like the people who taking money or any service for free.
