Significado
The act of temporarily taking money from someone with the intention of repaying it.
Contexto cultural
Borrowing money from friends is often seen as a sign of deep trust, but it can also end friendships quickly if not repaid. There is a saying, 'Borrow money standing up, return it kneeling down,' implying it's easy to borrow but hard to repay. The concept of 'Chemyeon' (face) makes many Koreans hesitant to admit they need to borrow money. They might use indirect language or only ask very close family members. With apps like KakaoPay, borrowing and lending small amounts (like for a meal) has become very casual and digitized, reducing the social awkwardness. Historically, Koreans used 'Gye' (private funds) to borrow money without banks. This communal spirit still exists in some older generations.
