拨弄 (bō nòng) — to fiddle with, to toy with (physically manipulate); to stir up, to provoke (trouble, emotions, etc.)

Definizione

拨弄 covers two senses: physically fiddling with something small (a guitar string, one's hair), and figuratively stirring up trouble or emotions. The second sense (e.g. 拨弄是非) is what makes it distinct from plain 弄.
