DAVEC,

I hope this will help:

I reference this webpage for simplified Chines-to-English Translation:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr
According to the "Babelfish" translation, this term means "Acts like a spoiled brat". I think this interpretation is self-explanatory. Cheers!

O, yes, it's quite hard to explain. Usually, the children 撒娇 to their parents. And your girlfriend may 撒娇 to you.

My dictionary shows 'spoilt brat' too but I am hearing so many versions from different people. If I tell you it was said to me by a very close lady friend does that change the meaning?

GUEST74166 when you are a child, you "sajiao" to your parents to satisfy your needs or get love or care from your parents .

There is a vedio can explain "sajiao" of a child correctly.
