What does Deny really mean?

Hey there! So, "deny" basically means to say that something is not true or to refuse to give someone what they want or ask for. It's like when someone says they didn't eat the last cookie even though you have cookie crumbs all over their face. They're denying that they did it.

But "deny" can also mean to not admit that something is true, like when someone is accused of something and they refuse to accept it. For example, if someone is accused of stealing a phone and they say they didn't do it, they're denying the accusation.

So, "deny" is basically saying no to something or refusing to accept something as true. It's like shutting the door on something and not letting it in. It's like saying "I don't think so" or "Nope, that's not happening." So, when someone denies something, they're basically saying "I don't agree with that" or "I'm not going to do that." Does that make sense? Anything else you want to know about "deny"?
