How do you say "trickster" in Spanish?

The best equation I can find is "embaucador". http://www.merriam-webster.com/spanish/trickster http://www.woxikon.com/spa/embaucador.php Apr 17 08, 7:34 PM

I used AltaVista for a translation & it just gave me the same word. They just would pronounce it a little differently. http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr Now if you used the word trick then the answer would be truco.... Apr 17 08, 7:36 PM

trickster: trickster n nm estafador trickster n nm embustero http://wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=trickster This also links to several that would work equally as well: charlatán - charlatana - trapacera - trapacero - trapacista http://wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=charlatana Apr 17 08, 8:42 PM

"Tramposo" would be commonly used, though it's closest meaning might be "cheater." (How often do you use the word "trickster" in English?) http://diccionario.reverso.net/espanol-ingles/tramposo Just as in English "trickster" has many synonyms as well as many shades of meaning, so in Spanish one could use any of the following words: farandulero, embustero, estafador, travieso, charlatan, timador, tahur, picaro, and many more.

Altavista gave me bromista for joker, bromista práctico is practical joker. Swindler produced estafador. Same link in HeavensArrow's reply. Apr 17 08, 9:11 PM
