: "fingir" is apparently used as a made-up noun here. the correct verb is "fingirdemek" of course.

Halil Ibrahim Tutuncuoglu "Бёcäטsع Լîfe's cômplicåtعd eñøugh"
: burada "flirt" ilerisinde bir durum söz konusu normalde fingirdemek dikkati çekecek kadar kırıtkan, oynak davranmak fakat burada yanlış kullanılarak bu manayı vermekte bence ayrıca make out, ya da kaçamak yapmak tarzında fiiller de kullanılabilir gibi

===
A distinction; while the term "flirt" may be +/-, "fingirdemek" is negative. Mostly for blaming a female, or gossiping behind.
