The Chinese word 骗 means “to deceive” or “to cheat”. It is commonly used in everyday language to describe situations where someone has tricked or misled another person for personal gain. For example, if someone sells a fake product to a customer, they could be described as 骗人 or “deceiving people”. The word can also be used in a more lighthearted way, such as when someone plays a harmless prank on their friend.
