Nudging

My friend kept nudging me to tell me something.

Ziri started nudging Rima into the house.

Ziri was awakened by his dad nudging his knee.

Tobias started nudging Isabella out of the room.

Damiano started nudging for Isabella to come inside.

"Oi," I said, nudging him with my knee, "don't fall asleep."

I started nudging Rima into the house.

It has been remarked that nudging is also a euphemism for psychological manipulation as practiced in social engineering.
