I want to know what is the opposite of 'owe'.
For example,
I owe you $10
If I want to say the opposite I have to reverse it and say,
you owe me $10
But sometimes I feel I should start with 'I' not 'you'.
Another example, if we said,
John owes Peter $100
We can say also that,
Peter xxx John $100
to mean the exact thing.
What is the proper word to replace xxx?
