Sabio is the adjective for "wise" or "learned", typically applied to people of experience and good judgement. As a noun it means "sage" or "scholar" - "un sabio" is a wise person or a learned one. The feminine sabia ("wise" feminine) is identical in ASCII spelling to a conjugation of saber ("knew", imperfect), and context disambiguates the two in writing.
