someone who lends something gets happy to help someone.And the one who borrows something gets happy to have what he/she needs.But borrowed things get older fast.That maybe cause people to break.

Quoting selin21:

Money you loan goes with laughing, it comes crying back
Ödünç güle güle gider, ağlaya ağlaya gelir

İleride geri alınmak şartıyla verilen para, eşya ya da herhangi bir mal her iki tarafı da mutlu eder. Veren yardımcı olduğu, alan da ihtiyacını gördüğü için sevinir. Ancak geri verme zamanı gelince bu sevinç kaybolur. Çünkü çoklukla geri ödeme ya çok geç yapılır, ya da ödünç olarak verilen şeyin yıprandığı görülür. Bu durum ödünç verenle, ödünç alanın arasını açar; dostlukları bozup zedeler.



Selin, the language of the forum is English, so please stick to that. Thank you.
