In a sentence

せんえん千円1000 yenかして貸してlend

Lend me 1000 yen

How it works

The amount 千円せんえん (1000 yen) comes first as the thing being asked for, then the verb. 貸すかす (lend) drops into its (te-form) form as 貸してかして (lend), and on its own the te-form works as a casual request — like “lend me…” between friends. The polite ください (please) that would normally follow is left off, so it sounds informal. The object particle (object) is also dropped, which is normal in casual speech.
