When you lend someone, it means that you are the person who gave something to someone to be used for a certain period of time. If you are the one who is borrowing, it means you are the one who is liable to return something to someone.
In summary, "lend" refers to the action of giving something temporarily, while "borrow" refers to the act of receiving or taking something temporarily. The lender is the one who gives, and the borrower is the one who receives.

We use lend when we want to give something to someone, while we use borrow when we want someone to give us something. For example, I have a car, and you need one. So, I can lend you my car, or you can borrow my car.
The receiver borrows and the giver lend.
