Answer 2

Mañoso: The dictionary on this site gives crafty, cunning, or skillful as a few of the meanings, depending on context.

If you look at your lefthand corner of the screen, there is a menu, click on translate, then put in the word you're looking for. Obviously this does not cover every possible word or regional variation, but it is a good start.

It is devilishly cunning if you ask me , and just to put one off it will often proffer three variations . Thank you oh lady of southern Spain. - ray76, Dec 30, 2015
