refuse
[intransitive]
to say firmly that you will not do something that someone has asked you to do

"Refuse" and "deny" are similar in that they both involve not giving someone what they want or expect, but they are used in different contexts:

  1. "Refuse": This means to say 'no' to something, or to not agree to do something. It's like when someone offers you broccoli, and you don't like broccoli, you might refuse by saying "No, thank you."

  2. "Deny": This is when you say that something is not true, or when you don't allow someone to have something. Like, if your friend says you took his toy and you didn't, you might deny it by saying, "No, I didn't take your toy."

So, "refuse" is more about not agreeing to do something or not accepting something, and "deny" is about saying something is not true or not allowing something.
