For example:

Guys, calm down, don’t put words in my mouth.

The expression להכניס לו מילים לפה means literally to put in, for him, words in the mouth. This is a common Hebrew construction – you may recognize it from כואב לי הראש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/להכניס-מילים-#.m4a” /] – my head hurts, which means literally, hurts, for me, the head.
