belazeren
What does “belazeren” mean in English?
It means to cheat or trick someone. It can also imply being deceived in a more informal context.
You might hear it in situations where someone is expressing disbelief or frustration, similar to saying 'Are you pulling my leg?' in English. It's not super harsh, more like a casual insult.
