Sentence 29758
"Can I borrow your radio?"
is better English. This sounds odd.

Agreed with blay_paul. Even "Will you lend me your radio?" is better.

I don't think it's very good English -- I spend half my time in England and have never heard anyone say that to make a request. Questions beginning with "Do you ..." are requests for information, which sounds wrong when used to ask for a favour.

Since the phrase was orphaned, I adopted it and changed it to "Could you lend me ...".
