Translation for the word "spoiled": "verzogen"?

Question

Which word would you use to translate the English adjective spoiled, like in the example:

He is really a spoiled kid.

Would you recommend using the word verzogen? Is that what most people would say? Is it correct?

Answer 1

I'd like to second what Veredomon already said. For reference see this Ngram.

Note, however, that there's basically a difference between the words verzogen and verwöhnt:

• verwöhnt:
  anspruchsvoll , wählerisch, man weiß viele Dinge nicht mehr zu schätzen
  (hard to please, choosy, you've stopped appreciating little things)
• verzogen:
  'falsch' oder 'schlecht' erzogen
  ('wrongly' or 'badly' brought up)

Verzogen usually suggests verwöhnt, but not vice versa.

Answer 2

Verwöhntes or verzogenes Kind. I'd say, however, that verwöhnt is more common, although it is essentially more neutral. Verzogen sounds a little bit dated to me.
