The Japanese verb '担ぐ (かつぐ)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to carry on the shoulder', often used when someone is physically carrying something heavy, like a load or a person. For example: He carried the luggage on his shoulder「彼は荷物を担いだ」(かれはにもつをかついだ). The second meaning is 'to hoax' or 'to trick someone', often used in a playful or deceptive context.
