Translate into arabic: "playing hard to get"

[Alimysoul]

hi everbody can anyone translate this into arabic (playing hard to get)
Can you please explain in detail what it means when someone starts playing hard to get with you please

[Milanya]

play hard to get (informal)

to pretend that you are less interested in someone than you really are as a way of making them more interested in you, especially at the start of a romantic relationship
Why don't you return any of his calls? Are you playing hard to get? [often in continuous tenses]

(from Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms)

Cannot do Arabic, sorry.

"Playing hard to get" does not mean "it is difficult to play."

look if you are egyptian so it's informal expression. look at the example that milanya had given here : Why don't you return any of his calls? Are you playing hard to get?
In arabic we say : enta leh mabtrodsh 3leh ? enta btet2l . so " playing hard to get " used in romantic relationship exactly as we use it here in that. so it mean " btt2l".

[Alyaa]

playing hard to get i think that it means i must do my best to get something for example aposition on awork,or to get someone who i admire and want to get him or her.[img][/img][img][/img]

Yes, I strongly agree with Hibba's translation

'يلعب دور(شخص) صعب المنال'
hope it works

Hi Milanya
Thank you.
you have always been helpful.
If you didn't explain it, they couldn't translate it to Arabic. albeit, I don't now Arabic and I'm wondering whether they translate it in correct way or not.
