never see something again
lose something after lending or giving it away
To have no good way to recover something after lending or giving it to someone.
Hear it in real life
Can I borrow your charger?
Sure, but bring it back. I lent my last one to Sam and never saw it again.
I lent my brother my favourite jacket, and I never saw it again.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I lent her my umbrella and never saw it again back.
Say: I lent her my umbrella and never saw it again.
“Never saw it again” already means it did not return; don’t add “back” to this phrase.
