语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、书面叙述、智力评价 「cleverness」是中性名词，通常指人或行为表现出的聪明、机灵，在日常对话和书面语中都比较常见。与更正式的「intelligence」相比，它多一层灵活、巧妙的意味，但用在正式场合也不算随意。
这些词都以非重读后缀 -ness 结尾，读音为 /nəs/，与 cleverness /ˈklɛvɝnəs/ 的最后一个音节一致；但重音都在前面的不同音节，所以它们不是严格韵脚。注意不要把词尾 -ness 读成 /nɛs/；拼写相近的 less /lɛs/、bless /blɛs/、unless /ənˈlɛs/ 中 -ess 读 /ɛs/，与 -ness 不同。
