rebuke
Though I think it is just 'to remind' without humilation.
Which dialect is it?

You may consider 'reproach' too.

Thanks. The word is weird in this context. In Palestine, one says it when they set their heart/mind on something نفسه يشيش أو يدخن سيجارة (ينقرز على شيشة أو على سيجارة) وليس بهذا المعنى

annoy by goading
since the meaning is tease so we can use that expression. المعنى هنا اقل من يهين و كما قالت لميس بالعربي (يسنفز)

Fuad Yahya
: "Tease" or "provoke" gives the right sense of the expression.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something that would suit my informal context.
