I'm not sure what this word means in the following two situations:
In the first conversation, two friends are discussing a third friend who hasn't communicated with B for a while.

Tyb ma7awlteesh tekalemiha leh? Teshtemiha shwya
B:
Msh radya troud 3al had

In the second conversation, a woman is saying it bothers her when random people call her on her cell phone and try to pretend like they know her in order to form a relationship.
