beautiful girl


Explanation:
"Bukur" is mostly used for "beautiful".

Beautiful is most comprehensive: a beautiful child; a beautiful girl; a beautiful woman; a beautiful painting; a beautiful mathematical proof.

What is pretty is beautiful in a delicate or graceful way: a pretty face; a pretty song; a pretty room.

So, when someone says "çikë/vajzë/grua e bukur" they mean "beautiful girl, beautiful woman"
