المعنى
A child who is clever.
خلفية ثقافية
Ukrainian parents often emphasize 'кмітливість' (resourcefulness) as part of being a 'smart child'. It's not just about grades, but about being able to solve life problems. In Ukrainian communities abroad (Canada, USA), this phrase is often used to praise children who maintain their Ukrainian language skills despite living in an English-speaking environment. In villages, a 'smart child' is often one who can help with chores and understands the 'wisdom of the land' as much as school books. There is a massive trend of 'early development' (ранній розвиток) where being a 'smart child' is linked to attending specialized clubs and learning coding or English from age 3.
Always Feminine
Remember that 'дитина' is always feminine. Even if you are talking about Albert Einstein as a kid, he was a 'розумна дитина'.
Don't over-praise
In some Ukrainian circles, over-praising a child as 'розумна' can be seen as bad luck. Use it sincerely but not excessively.
