the meaning of "Share"
I share my toy with my friend.
This means the toy is mine, and I allow my friend to use the toy with me.
Then, if the toy belongs to my friend, what verbs should I use instead of "share"?
I share my friend's toy with my friend. This is weird, right? I can not "share" my friend's toy because the toy is not mine.
How can I describe this situation? I am using the toy that belongs to my friend.

You can say that you "lent" the toy to your other friend. That means that you allowed them to burrow the toy to play with, but it does not describe who owns the toy.

Either person can share. You might also be taking turns instead of using it at the same time.
Sharing is caring!
Examples:
My friend shared his toy with me.
My friend and I shared his toy.
We shared my friend's toy. We shared his/her toy.
Other verbs (but this is less playing together and more one person at a time):
My friend let me borrow his toy.
My friend lent me his toy
