How should I say?
Hello Everyone.
There's one thing that I want to ask.
If someone has borrowed something from me (or has lost something to me) and I want to remind him that he has give me that thing back, what should I say to him.
A few examples are welcome.

Question

Answer

It depends on how sensitive you want to be. You might ask differently based on whether your friend is ashamed about losing or having borrowed the object.

An urgent, yet gentle way to say it might be: "I need you to return my [object]," or "I need my [object] back so I can use it soon."

Or, perhaps, just ask your friend if he is done using it:
"Hey, man, are you still using that [object]? Let me have it back once you get a chance."

Either way, I hope it's not money!

Answer

I usually say "Do you still have that [object] I loaned you?"

Answer

sorry for signing skeptical, but have you given back my book already?
