Which one is correct: "pawn" or "pledge"?
Hello everyone!
I'm going to describe the situation.
I want to rent some equipment. They tell me that I can do that for free, but I have to give money as a pledge/pawn. After I return this equipment, I will get my money back. What can I say in this situation? Is this phrase (to give money as a pledge/pawn) even correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
