can you say " somebody is spoiled and mischievous" ? or they have the same meaning !!?

Answer 1

There meanings are different.

'Spoiled' refers to someone (usually a child) who gets whatever he/she wants. Ex: "Mary is so spoiled that her parents bought her a car a year before she got her driver's license."

'Mischievous" refers to someone (again, usually a child) who gets into trouble often...not bad trouble, though, usually fairly innocent trouble. Ex: "The mischievous little boy was sent to the principal's office for stealing a sandwich from his teacher's lunchbox and feeding it to the class hamster."

Answer 2

yes, you can say that, and no they do not have the same meaning.

being spoiled is caused by someone else affecting a person (usually parent) whereas mischievous can simply be a person's nature.

mischievous:
1. maliciously or playfully annoying.
2. causing annoyance, harm, or trouble.

4. harmful or injurious.

Answer 3

A "mischievous" person is eager to have fun especially by embarrassing people or by playing tricks.
A "mischievous" child or animal is a naughty one.
