Ужели

[kwatts59]

What does "Ужели" mean in English?

Here is the context:
Ужели ты обманешь бедную Лизу?

Please explain in English because I do not know Russian very well.

Thanks in advance.

[Leolia]

Can't you- ужели
Can't you really deceive/betray poor Liza?

[Natashka]

see неужели

[Oobiedoobie]

The same as the word "неужели" (obsolete form).

Would you dare to deceive poor Liza?!

or:

Could you really deceive poor Liza?!

[суслик]

Utter astonishment of the speaker! Is it possible that you can do it...

[Natch]

"Ужели" is an obsolete, currently out of use variant of "неужели".
I'd rather translate the prase as "Do you really suppose to deceive poor Lisa?"

[Kate-I]

It means:

You are not going to deceive poor Liza, are you.

[Natch]

Why? How come you take it this way?

[Kate-I]

Because that's how it is. Trust me.

[V]

yes
alternatively,
could it be that you are going to/will/are about to deceive...
