Ademas de lo q puso Laire, clever es mas de respuesta espontánea.

Aca son lo mismo, tienen el mismo significado, pero en sí, no son lo mismo. Smart es inteligente, nada mas...y como dije, clever es de respuestas espontánea, es mas rapido al responder. Tampoco es q uno es mejor q otro, simplemente son distintos.

Es mas, en un diccionario Ingles-Español, o en un traductor, sale lo mismo...pero en el contexto de una charla, en forma oral, no es lo mismo decir smart q clever.

mmm
yo lo tomo de la siguiente manera:
clever = astuto
smart = inteligente

y dependiendo el contexto uso uno u otro.

Por eso digo....depende del contexto, se usa uno u otro.

Vayan a decirle a un ingles q son lo mismo, los mira con mala cara

Idem

Además es más común leer "clever" en la literatura británica (?) y "smart" es más de los gringos
