Signification
Taking money as a loan.
Contexte culturel
Borrowing money is often a last resort due to 'A-nar-de'. People often use metaphors like 'helping out' rather than 'lending'. Informal lending (Hundi system) is common and relies heavily on verbal agreements and the phrase 'paik-san-chay'. Farmers often borrow money for seeds and pay back after harvest, a cycle known as 'chay-ngway-pyan-pay'. Young people use mobile apps to borrow, making the process less 'embarrassing' than asking face-to-face.
Clarify the direction
Always add 'pay' for lending and 'yu' for borrowing to avoid confusion.
Tone matters
Saying 'Paik-san chay!' as a command is very rude. Always add 'lo-ya-ma-lar' or 'ba-on' for politeness.

The 'A-nar-de' factor
If someone asks to borrow money, they are likely in real need. If you refuse, do it gently.
