Please let me know if these sentences are grammatically correct and let me know the corrections please.
1) Can you you check the meaning of this word on your phone dictionary.
2) He was getting ready relaxfully.( Here I mean that I am getting late and my father is getting ready without even thinking that I'm getting late so what better word can be used instead of "relaxfully )
3) I was always hot, it's just that I was always dressed as a tomboy so you never realized the hotter side of mine.(any better word for hotter or can this sentence be much better)
4) What word is used when you are walking and some crosses your way and in order to let you go he shifts to other side but by mistake you also shift to his side and this happens repeatedly.

1) That's okay.
2) He was getting ready unhurriedly / slowly /without haste / leisurely.
3) It depends on what exactly you mean by 'hot' - fashionable, exciting, sexy, popular, etc. From the context I would guess at 'sexy', so you could clarify it like this:
I was always hot. It's just that I was always dressed as a tomboy so you never realised there was a sexier side to me.
4) I can't think of a word specifically for that action, Hardwork. You would have been 'dodging' or 'dodging and weaving' or 'side-stepping', and in humour people might even refer to it as 'dancing'.

1. I'm assuming you mean "phone" as in a smartphone such as the Blackberry or iPhone. Your sentence is fine, but to clarify, it should be "Can you check the meaning of this word on your smartphone's dictionary?"
2. "He took his time getting ready even though his (*) was late for (*)." (I need more context to complete and revise the sentence)
3. "I've always been dressed as a tomboy so you've never seen the hotter side of me."
4. There's no word for that, but this has happened to me far too many times. :P
