Watch out
貸す is godan (貸して), its mirror 借りる is ichidan (借りて). French keeps the pair Spanish lacks: prêter = 貸す, emprunter = 借りる. 貸してください = please lend me / let me use it. Spanish alquilar runs both ways; Japanese splits it: tenant 借りる, landlord 貸す, hence 賃貸 in apartment ads. Shell (貝) = money, as in 買 and 費.
