For those who remember the cartoon about Carlson, it will be quite easy to understand the meaning of the word "naughty". It was the charming fat man with the propeller who was called the naughty. Consider the meaning of the adjective, its synonyms and examples.
Meaning
The explanatory dictionary tells us that a playful one is one who is prone to pranks. It is interesting in this case to know the meaning of the last definition. A prank is a "joking prank." As we remember (from those who read the book or watched the cartoon), Karlsonchik is a great specialist in this area.
Thus, a playful one is someone who loves various practical jokes, likes to fool others and, moreover, enjoys it. Of course, the first association that comes to mind in this regard is a child. But, fortunately, some adults are also cheerful and smiling, as well as foolish. First, we will select synonyms for the meaning of the word "playful", and then remember the merry fellows, who, unlike Carlson, grew up.
Synonyms
Substitution words are known to everyone, it is unlikely that the reader will be surprised in this respect. Still, it's worth listingso that it is always at hand if the need arises:
- joking;
- playful;
- boyish;
- childish;
- naughty;
- foolish;
- naughty;
- mischievous;
- restless;

As you can see from the list, the last four definitions capture in playfulness only mobility in one form or another. Sometimes activity is painful, sometimes he althy. The rest of the synonyms are able to replace the object of study almost completely, if we take into account the "frivolous" element of the meaning of the word "playful".
Joker, Dr. House and O. J. Grant
It would be possible to make a list of heroes, but we decided to put them directly in the subheading, it's easier. Someone will say that the Joker is completely unsuitable, because he is too spoiled. From the tricks of the other two characters, too, does not breathe kindness. Therefore, the crazy clown in the company of his guys.
Do you need proof that all three have not lost their childish spontaneity? Just for the sake of appearances. House endlessly plays pranks on his subordinates and superiors. O. J. Grant, the genie from the movie "Route 60", does not grant a single wish the way a person wants. And the Joker does evil for fun. It is difficult to see behind all this the entertainment of grown-up playful children (the meaning of the word is already known), but it is so. After all, they are all romantic heroes who have given up on life and their ideals.
We only have one question left. Some are occupied not with an adjective, but with a related adverb. How to be with him? In other words, the lexical meaning of the word "playful", what is it? The explanatory dictionary here does not indulge its admirers and refers them to the adjective. We have no choice but to perform the same operation - to mentally turn the definitions given as synonyms for the adjective "playful" into adverbs and thus achieve the truth. And if we could, then the reader can too.
