Coquette (Coquetry) : 요부, 아양을 떠는 여자(or 남자), 교태, 교태를 부리다
Coquettish : 교태를 부리는, 아양을 떠는

Coquettishly : 요염하게, 교태를 부리며
coquettishness 

1)
a coquette is a person, which describes a young woman who likes to attract the attention of all the men by behaving like as she's interested in them but not in a serious way

2)
to coquette with somebody
to flirt with somebody

3)
However, if you use it as a verb or an adjective or a noun, then you can apply to both sexes
because I think both sexes behave in the same way

 

he was coquetting with all of the girls
he was flirting with all the girls
he was attacting their attention he was hehaving in a way that showed he was interested in them sexually
he was very pleasant and upbeat and not serious, I think he was being a bit of tease
his coquetry made him very unpopular amongst the other men
she use girlish coquetry to get her way to get what she wants
he is always flirting with his own personal coquetry with all of the pretty girls
he smiled at her coquettely or coquettishly
he coquetted with the girls
designed to excite attention
to arouse people of the opposite sex
without intending to actually reciprocate those feelings 
flirtatious teasing
I think probably more principally used with women towards men but men do this as well
showing amorous interest but without any substance by it
you could be definitely being coquette to get what you want
she is toying with his emotions
she is coquettishly pretending that she's really interested in him
to turn on the charm

Formality : 6 - 6.5
