Polish term or phrase: wmawiać/wciskać/wpierać komuś
Dosyć często mam z tym kłopot, teraz znowu mam różne przykłady:
Nie wmawiaj mi takich głupot!
Wmawiałaś mi jakieś kłamstwa.
Znowu mi wciskasz.
Nie wpieraj mi tego, bo nic się takiego nie zdarzyło.

Macie jakieś dobre pomysły? "persuade", "convince" czy "drum into" często nie pasują
