    "zgrabna" = well endowed.... so go figure ;-)

    a "zgrabna dziewczyna" is a sylph... defined as:
    1. a slender, graceful woman or girl.
    2. (in folklore) one of a race of supernatural beings supposed to inhabit the air.

    I assume it means we're speaking about a fairly good looking woman here?! :D

    I not sure if the word "zgrabna" can be used to describe a male... there might be a more specific term for men.

    To describe a male you'd have to use the 'zgrabny' form, just as you'd use 'zgrabne' to refer to the neuter gender. However it's not really usual to call a guy 'zgrabny,' 'dobrze zbudowany' (ie well-built) sounds better.

    NB the opposite of 'zgrabny' - 'niezgrabny' (masc) 'niezgrabna' (fem) 'niezgrabne' (neut) is usually used to mean clumsy.

    Zgrabna/zgrabny/zgrabne actually means "shapely", it can be used to describe a girl (zgrabna dziewczyna) or her legs (zgrabne nogi) or her figure (zgrabna figura). You wouldn't use it referring to guys though. If a girl is particularly well-endowed/voluptuous I'm not sure if "zgrabna" would be the best choice either.
