Bulgarian term or phrase: оправна жена
Оправната жена се настанява в апартамента му и намира паспорта му. Това е в общи линии изречението. Интересува ме превода на "оправна" конкретно.

streetwise/shrewd/resorceful lady
Explanation:
Значението на българската дума "оправен" е:
1. Който е в ред, който не причинява бърканици и мъчнотии.
2. Който създава и поддържа ред. (оправен човек).

В случая явно става дума за пресметлива/хитра и с голям житесйки опит жена, която умее да се възползва от подобни ситуации. :)
