Just like we Nigerians would say "I dashed him the money", what is the right English word for this 'dash'.

it depends in the situations and conditions,some na tiping,dashing,gifting,giving arms,assisting,bribing......

Hand it on to him

Dictionary recognise nigeria meaning of dash. No need stressing ourselves for a synonym.

Please which dictionary is this?

VictorRomanov:


Try to read the example you gave out loud. How does it sound in your ear?

it's an archaic use and since the OP isn't using it in a formal way, its allowed . Centuries ago, gift was used as a verb.

Freebie

Crabholeing: A process where money falls into a crab hole.

The correct word is 'lend' example: 1. AS HE WAS STILL OWING ME TWO NAIRA, I WAS CAREFUL NOT TO LEND HIM ANY MORE MONEY (UTME 1973 Q54) 2. KINDLY LEND ME YOUR BOOK BECAUSE MY FRIEND HAS BORROWED MINE (UTME 1998 Q 82)

Unless you're referring to the fact that he used "gift" instead of "gifted", the guy was correct 100%

Of course that's what I'm referring to.

Take it go. Haha

Tetehjewels:
GIFT!!

e.g I GIFTED HIM/HER THE MONEY or I GAVE HIM/HER THE MONEY AS A GIFT.

Rule of thumb entails that a gift cannot be returned except the receiver chooses to do so.

You can also use the term ABNEGATE

Gosh
The kind of grouse I have with abnegate?
Sounds too dry, formal, old, colonial, and is just energy draining
Dash is better please
They should learn our own
Please nobody should ever use abnegate ( for my peace of mind )

Whether gift is a verb or noun is not the problem. Gift is still a verb (and a noun) till tomorrow.

The issue is your tense

correctyourself:
PDP, share the money.

APC, keep the secrets.

also, gift can serve as an adjective, depending on usage. Theres nothing bad in the usage in my sentence sir

In this case you re using it as a verb. And verbs have appropriate tenses to go with them.

Your tense in that statement is not correct.

Eg:

He give him/her money - wrong.

He gave him/her money - correct.

So the correct statement should have been: he gifted him/her money.

Check the attached picture for examples

Gave.

if I say I gift her money, it's still correct because it's a perfect tense in a first person singular form

For instance... I gift, we gift, he gifts, they gift...

If i say i gift her money ( maybe i do it everyday or weekly or even yearly, it doesn't matter. It's used in a first person so guitar form). Please ignore my earlier post, in case you've read it where I admitted an error. Tnx
