"你不可以借我的作业。"

Translation: You can't borrow my homework.

[michelle.ko]

作业 should be recognised interchangeably to mean either assignment or homework. Assignment was not accepted here.

[anna.for.c]

Agreed. That is ridiculous.

[RobinThor]

The dictionary hints on hover say 可以借我 is "could you lend me". That does not make any sense.

[Maxos_parmensis]

Seriously who borrows homework? :)

[Shamshoomi]

I came here for this!

[CinnamonTe1]

I've seen students borrow each other's homework even in college. An assignment is borrowed temporarily so the other person can make their own copy for submission and avoid a zero grade.

In my school days homework was loaned and swapped for favors. Has this changed?

[ChaosScroll]

i thought "jie" was to lend. now it is "to borrow" what the ❤❤❤ is going ON HERE

[FHqXhJ]

Be aware that some languages do not clearly distinguish these two words (if there are two distinct words to start with).

[15Jeth]

You "may not" should be accepted, too.

[Hfhvgkbffr]

So.. 借 means both 'lend' and 'borrow' ?

[domsalazar0]

Based on those hover hints, it seemed like it was going the other way. "You can't lend me" vs "You can't borrow" - but that would mean borrowing it FROM me versus lending it TO me.

Can anyone clarify?

Right

[CinnamonTe1]

The tips section for the 'School 2' skill says:

For borrowing something from somebody, just use 向 (xiàng, from) before the person and then add 借!​

他想向我借钱.
He wants to borrow money from me.

So why does this phrase not use 向 to mean "borrow"?

[shatov72]

This is my question as well.

I could work out from 我的作业 that it was about my assignment, but I can't see why 借 here doesn't mean that I am borrowing from you, rather than you trying to borrow from me.

Do the rules change when we have the negative '不'?

[Hedwigechouette]

"you can't borrow my assignment" was rejected but should be accepted

作業=homework/assignment.
