What is the Hebrew word for clever?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "clever" in Hebrew, as the best word depends on the nuance you want to convey. Here are a few options, with slight differences in meaning:

* חכם (chacham): This is the most common word and generally means "wise" or "intelligent." It can often be used for cleverness, especially if the cleverness is based on wisdom or experience.

* שנון (shanon): This word implies sharpness of wit and quick thinking. It's closer to "witty" or "sharp-witted."

* מתוחכם (mituchakam): This means "sophisticated" or "refined," and can imply cleverness in a more subtle or complex way.

* ערמומי (armumi): This means "cunning" or "sly," implying cleverness used in a potentially deceptive way.

The best word to use depends on the context. If you can provide the context in which you'd use the word "clever," I can help you choose the most appropriate Hebrew equivalent.
