    Помогите пожалуйста

    Привет,

    Пожалуйста, вы можете объяснить, какое различие есть между словами "отдать" и "дать". В словаре, оба слова значят "to give".
    Иди и учи русский!

    отдать - the same as give away, like give something into somebody's possession for ever, or at least for a very long time. For that reason most oftenly used in expressions like:

    отдать долг

    дать - just to give

    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    Come to think of it. Отдать can also mean "give back".

    An example:

    There are two children playing. Josh has this amazing toy his friend Anthony wants to play with. He asks Josh:

    Дай мне эту игрушку?

    Josh has done so but after some time has passed he wants his amazing toy back. So he tells Anthony:

    Отдай мою игрушку

    Hope it helps
