Dear teacher,

I have question about the following word using.

What's the difference between "cunning" and "crafty"?

In Chinese, they have the same meaning

Please tell me how to use them appropriately

Thank you very much

Best wishes,
Jerry Chou

They mean the same in English, too.
However, to my ear, cunning seems the more negative of the two.
