Are you flirting with me you can say 你是在捉弄我吗?

Indeed, how? Strangely what comes to my mind is this from the Book of Odes -



Quote:

月出皎兮、佼人僚兮。
The moon comes forth in her brightness ; How lovely is that beautiful lady !

I figure it's because of the similarity of 僚 and 撩. haha.

If your conversations keep progressing, the book Making out in Chinese has a section of useful
phrases and terms.

I don't have one here or else I'd check the flirting thing for you.

If she's got to ask, surely you aren't doing it right . . .

调情 would be the dictionary definition. I'm sure I once knew a much more colloquial expression,
but I can't find it - might have been 挤眉弄眼, which I don't think is quite appropriate but
deserves a mention for being a fantastic phrase anyway.

I had a copy of Making out in Chinese once, I seem to remember it being quite promising, but the
author (based in Taiwan I think) had decided to invent his own romanization scheme, thus making
life a little more difficult.

interesting. never thought that flirt = 捉弄. always think that flirt = 調情 ...










semantic nuance -

flirt with sb might be similar to 打情罵俏.
More slangy, if she asks that, the chinese version might be : 你想把我啊?
your answer 'yes, i'm flirting with you.' might be ' 對, 我就是要把你!'

把 here is a slang, meaning 'pick up sb'. From your context, that's what I could think of in
Taiwanese slang.

Hope it helps!

Oh, , dear david, you remind me of this.....


Obviously, after watching lots of western movies in which a man always nails a woman down.....
IMHO, I find your question kind of, you know, 'supernatural'.

While you can go and check this blog: Focus on THAT area, (Declaration: I am a pure person though.
) if you read Chinese. I believe it helps you more.

What about, 你在吃我的豆腐嗎?

Doesn't that come after the flirting?
