Borrowing and lending dh can't ever get it right.

[Gorjuss]

My dh continues to use the expression borrow and lend the wrong way round, claiming in front of dds that it doesn't make a difference and I am being awkward by pointing it out.

Steppemum - interesting! As I understand it, in Welsh you don't say Yes, but just confirm the point asked. "Can you swim?" "I can." Can any Welsh speakers confirm this?

Logically though you can only remember things yourself, if you want someone else to remember something you remind them. It's why it sounds so wrong to me even if it has historical usage.

Back in the North West, us kids would say "Give us a lend of your bike."

But I still know the difference between lend and borrow .

The ultimate annoying phrase when I was at school - 'Can I lend a pen'!

We tend to use it more like that but actually it can mean "call to mind" more generally.
