meelitamisel

Meelitamisel is an Estonian verb that translates to "luring," "tempting," or "enticing" in English. It describes the act of attracting or drawing someone or something towards oneself through persuasion, promises, or appealing qualities. The verb can be used in various contexts, ranging from a general sense of attracting attention to more specific instances of seduction or manipulation.
