"Loan interest" refers to the additional money you need to pay back on top of the original amount you borrow from a bank or lender. It is a fee charged by the lender for borrowing their money, and it is typically a certain percentage of the loan amount. So, when you take out a loan, you'll need to pay back the original amount you borrowed, plus the interest, which is the extra money you owe for using that loan.
