"The student loans a book to their friend."

Translation: 학생은 친구에게 책을 빌려줍니다.

[markvujovi]

학생은 친구한테 책을 빌려줘요

can't see why this is wrong

[flybutterflyy]

Why not "학생이 친구에게 책을 빌려줍니다"? Does the topic particle imply that the friend we are talking about is the student's?

Why is 빌려요 not an acceptable verb?

[BobPancakes]

빌려요 Means "borrow"

빌려줘요 Means "lend"

[emak02]

학생은 친구한테 책을 빌려주다 isn't correct?

[LesChristiansen]

The indirect object always precedes the direct object.

[fiza787388]

Is 빌려요 and 빌려줍니다 two different words?

[BobPancakes]

Yes, the first word means to borrow and the second means to lend.

does student need the topic marker in this sentence or can i use the subject marker ? I wrote this and got wrong
학생이 친구에게 책을 빌려줍니다

[BobPancakes]

It's correct, it's just that Duo only has a certain number of correct answers listed. If you flag it, the translation will eventually get added.

(It may take a while. I stopped actively using Duo around 12 months ago and every now and then I still get email alerts to notify me that my alternate translations have been added to the course.)

Is 친구에게 학생은 책을 빌려줘요 wrong?

[LesChristiansen]

"The student" is singular but "their" is plural. The sentence makes absolutely no sense!!!!!

[BobPancakes]

"Their" can be a singular pronoun when the sentence is gender-neutral.

[Dorien309216]

Their can also be non-reflexive, meaning it doesn't refer to the subject, so it's possible these aren't the subject's friends.
