Rent means you must pay money to use it. As for borrow, you don't have to pay money.

あなたの例えは、the word you are looking for is "loan".
"Thanks for loaning me this book."
I hope that made sense, 僕の日本語はゴミです😂すみません!

@r1singphoenix Oh, That's an accident! I forgot this word! Thanks for the suggestion! So, is there something difference between loan and rent?
No worries, your Japanese is very natural in this dialog box. :)

Yes, there is!
First, "rent" involves money, "loan" doesn't. You rent an apartment. You rent movies. Etc. Paying money to use something.
Second, "rent" can be used with both "to" and "from".
"He rented the apartment to me."
"I rented the apartment from him."
"Rented to" and "rented from" are both correct.
But, "loan" is only used one way. "Loaned to".
"I loaned the book to him."
"He loaned the book to me."
But it's English, so the rules aren't always true 😅
You can also say that something is "on loan" from somewhere else. If a museum (let's call it Museum A) lets another museum borrow a painting for a while, you could say:
"This painting is on loan from Museum A"
I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, just ask 👌🏻

Excellent! The only thing that is not quite right is "on loan". "On loan" is not nearly as common as the rest, and is kind of strange in how it's used.
You would usually only say something is "on loan" when talking about an object, not money. And it's usually used when talking about something being borrowed from an organization. Like, "the Bugattis we're using in this parade are on loan from Bugatti."
Everything else is perfect!
Also, when you loan or borrow money, that money is called a loan. So someone could say "what happened to that loan I gave you?", and they would be talking about money that was loaned.
Also (I know this is a lot, I'm just including everything I can think of right now), when you rent something, you can call it a rental. So if you rented a car, and someone said "hey man, nice car!" you might say "thanks, but it's not mine, it's a rental."
Or you could pretend it was your car, if you wanted 😂
Hope that all was helpful!

@r1singphoenix I got it! Thank you so much for everything! This time, I learned really a lot more than I expected! Okay, now I can pretend when renting something gorgeous that is mine! XD
