== V/V ==
The most common borrowed chord is the V or V7 of V chord, commonly notated as ''V/V'' or ''V7/V''. ===Notation===The "/" indicates that the chord is borrowed. The bottom or right side of the slash is the key that is being borrowed from. The left or top side of the slash indicates which chord from that scale is being used. V/V means the fifth diatonic major chord of the major key whose root is the fifth diatonic note of the current key. ===Function===It is essentially a dominant function chord whose function is to resolve to the dominant chord of the current key. That chord then resolves to the I or i chord. V/V - V - I. ===Example===In C Major, the progression would be D - G - C. D is borrowed, as Dm is the diatonic chord. The raised F# that makes it a major chord also gives it the dominant function to resolve a half step to G, as part of the G chord. If the D Major chord did not resolve to G Major, demonstrating its dominant functionality, we might alternatively analyze this as a II or borrowed major from some other key.
