    You can borrow from someone else. When someone else borrows from you, you lend it. Or lent as the past tense

      Thanks, updated. I think my mistake stems from Swedish only having one word for the concept, regardless of the direction of the transaction.

      Ish…

      They could have said “you have let the government borrow from you tax free.”

      But yeah, the general idea holds.
