AdjectiveAdjective meaning 'thick / fat / stout (of great depth or girth)'.
How to use
The adjective 'gruby' (fat / thick / coarse) declines regularly. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a noun, and translating it as 'жирный' (greasy) is inappropriate for general contexts; it means 'fat' for humans (antonym of 'chudy') or 'thick' for books/walls (antonym of 'cienki'). In the masculine personal plural, it becomes 'grubi' (e.g., 'grubi mężczyźni' — fat men). Comparative is 'grubszy', superlative is 'najgrubszy'.
