In Brazilian Portuguese, 'inteligentemente' is the standard adverbial form. The concept of being clever is highly valued in both American and Brazilian cultures, often associated with problem-solving and wit. In informal contexts, Brazilians might use 'com jogo de cintura' to convey clever maneuvering with street smarts. In the USA, 'cleverly' often implies both intelligence and a touch of humor or deception.
