- 1開玩笑地、逗弄地、鬧著玩地(帶著親近的語氣捉弄人);也可指「吊人胃口地」。
In a joking way, when you say or do something that makes fun of someone a little — but in a warm way, because you like them. "'Nice haircut,' she said teasingly." The words might sound like a small attack; the tone says the opposite. That gap is the whole point of the word: it tells the reader not to take the line seriously.

So teasingly almost always signals closeness. You tease a friend, a sibling, a partner — not your boss and not a stranger. Because it describes tone of voice, it appears most often next to speaking verbs: said teasingly, asked teasingly, teasingly suggested.

There is a second, quite different use, common in stories and advertising: doing something slowly and only part-way, to make someone want more. A trailer teasingly shows three seconds of a film; someone teasingly holds a gift just out of reach. Here it means "keeping you waiting on purpose".
There is a second, quite different use還有第二種很不一樣的用法 common in stories and advertising常見於故事和廣告裡 doing something slowly and only part-way慢慢做、只做一部分 to make someone want more好讓人更想要.

One honest warning about the friendly sense: whether teasing feels warm or cruel depends entirely on the relationship and the tone. The word claims it was meant kindly. It does not prove it landed that way.
One honest warning about the friendly sense關於親近這個用法有個誠實的提醒 whether teasing feels warm or cruel逗弄讓人覺得溫暖還是殘忍 depends entirely on the relationship and the tone完全要看關係和語氣. The word這個字 claims聲稱 it was meant kindly是出於好意. It does not prove但這並不能證明 it landed that way對方真的這樣感受到.
core核心畫面
組成tease(逗弄、取笑)+ -ing(形成形容詞 teasing)+ -ly(副詞字尾)→ 用逗弄的方式。tease 更早的意思是「把毛料一絲一絲拉開梳理」,那種「一點一點地扯」後來變成「一點一點地鬧人」。
