[edit]draiskulīgs (definite draiskulīgais, comparative draiskulīgāks, superlative visdraiskulīgākais, adverb draiskulīgi)
- (of people, especially children, and their behavior) playful, mischievous; expressing such attitudes
- tā bija dzīva, draiskulīga meitene, spožām acīm; savas kustīgās dabas dēļ meiteni skolā visi bija iesaukuši par “Žuku” ― that was a lively, playful girl, with bright eyes; because of her restless nature, everybody at school called her “Žuk” (Russian жук, “beetle”)
- zeltaina gaisma lija puišiem matos, atspoguļojās viņiem acīs, lai tās liktos draiskulīgākas, ne tik biklas kā patiesībā ― the golden light poured on the boys' hair (and) reflected off their eyes, so that their eyes seemed more playful, mischievous, not as timid as they really were
