1. You are not clever, so you are probably just average.
2. You accentuate your practical ability as opposed to your intellectual ability
3. You sometimes make the wrong choices in you life.
'Smart' means different things to different people. It could mean smart in terms of financial success; it could mean smart in terms of intelligence; it could mean smart in terms of making good decisions in life.
1. I'm not clever
スマートではない、平均的な人ですという言い方です。
2. I'm more practical than clever
あなたの[知的](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/69529/)というより、行動派だと強調する言い方です。
3. I don't always make the best decisions
時には人生で[間違った](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/38154/)選択をしてしまう、という言い方です。
「Smart」とは、人によってとらえ方が違います。財産的に成功したという意味でスマートだという意味するかもしれません。もしくは、知性の点で頭が良いことを意味するかもしれません。または、それは人生において良い決断をするという点で賢明であることを意味するかもしれません。あなたはどれでしょう？
"There are many days when we all feel like we are not smart enough, it doesn't mean that you are not!
There are many words to describe that feeling: "dense, brainless, unintelligent, simple-minded."
Even if it is you who wants to say "私は馬鹿です," it's better to be polite about it.
For example, you can say that you're "slow."
- "I'm a little slow sometimes."
- "He's a little slow sometimes."
- "She can be a little slow sometimes."
Another way to say this is by saying that someone doesn't "catch on" quickly. Basically you are saying that someone is slow to understand things.
- "I don't catch on very quickly."
- "She is always slow to catch on."
- "He tries hard, but is usually slow to catch on."
Lastly, you can use the word "airhead" as another way to say "slow."
- "I can be an airhead sometimes."
- "My sister means well, but she is a total airhead."
例え「私は馬鹿です」と言いたくても丁寧な言い方のほうがいいと思います。
例えば"slow"と言うのはどうでしょうか。
- "I'm a little slow sometimes."
- "He's a little slow sometimes."
- "She can be a little slow sometimes."また、”catch on"とも言えます。
何かを理解するのに時間がかかるという事です。
- "I don't catch on very quickly."
- "She is always slow to catch on."
- "He tries hard, but is usually slow to catch on."最後に、"airhead"も"slow"と同じ意味です。
- "I can be an airhead sometimes."
- "My sister means well, but she is a total airhead."
When it comes to maths and science...I am no genius:-D
Humility is one thing, but making "disparaging remarks" about one's self
should not be encouraged ( in my opinion.)
Low self esteem is silent disease...and can badly affect people in the long run.
We all make mistakes remember;-))
However; I willl admit " I am no genius" when it comes to maths!
卑下とは、自分に対する「中傷的な表現」を指します。（個人的には）するべきではないと思っています。自分を低評価することは、無症状疾患とも言われ、長期的に周りの人々にも悪影響を与えます。誰でも間違いを起こすことを覚えておいてくださいね。しかし、数学に関してはI am no genius.「賢くはない」ということは認めますけど...

ways of saying you are not clever.
or
"i am not very clever".
or
"i am not the brightest".
or
"i am not very bright".
例
"I am not the brightest spark"
（私はひらめきが良くないです。）
また
"I'm not the brightest of buttons"
（私は馬鹿です。）フォーマルな言い方ではないですが賢くないという意味です。
または
"I am not very clever".
（私はあまり賢くありません。）
または
"I am not the brightest".

We can use the three adjectives smart, clever or bright to talk about intelligence and to say that we are not very smart or do not understand things very quickly. We can also use this as a saying when we make a mistake and are trying to mention that we did something foolish.
