Romanian term or phrase: a fi rau de ochi
Cuvântul rău apare în câteva expresii populare cu implicaţii interesante pe terenul spiritualităţii tradiţionale: a pomeni de rău (pe cineva) „a cobi”; a trage a rău; a meni de rău; a fi rău de ochi; a fi de rău; a-i merge rău cuiva, etc.

Nu sunt sigura de sensul expresiei in limba romana. Adica se deoache usor sau deoache pe altcineva usor?
