Just a copy & paste from dictionary.com, but it might help. 1. having greater resources or better skills, education, facilities, etc.: She is more advantaged than her cousin. 1. providing an advantage; furnishing convenience or opportunity; favorable; profitable; useful; beneficial: an advantageous position; an advantageous treaty. It seems to me that the first speaks of a person and the second of a situation. |

Yes, that �s right. �Advantaged � may be used to describe someone who has advantages, as in the example given. �Advantageous � will be used to describe a situation which has advantages. |
