"Wait I remember borrowing that to somebody, but who was it again?" - it's gone
"I swear I saw it yesterday" - search as long as you want, you will find it by accident mere moments after you no longer need it
"I remember I put that in a specific place for safekeeping" - will resurface when you move
Since when did "borrow" start meaning "lend?"
people confuse those two a lot. especially non-native speakers who's languages have one word for borrow and lend
I'm a native speaker I'm just dumb
nah plenty of people say "borrow" to mean "lend". language isn't rigid and set in stone.
maybe your knowledge of german corrupted you then? 😭 i see the .de in your instance name
I'm German but became fluent in English before school so I consider myself native. Anyway what I'm trying to say is I'm really good at being bad in two languages at the same time
that is so fair. i'm polish and learnt english the same way natives do, so i consider myself near native, and i also suck at both of my langauges
