you look really gorgeous honey
'nirat' means 'look' and 'mamash yafa' literally means 'really beautiful', but in this context, I'd use 'gorgeous' which is more natural. 'Motek' = sweetheart or honey

You are so cute, baby.
Or: "pretty" instead of "cute"; "sweetie" or "honey" instead of "baby", etc.

Remember here that a "boy" is speaking to a "girl". Would a boy speaking in 21st century English be more likely to say, "You look really beautiful honey" or "You are so cute."

| haha you were exactly right, and thanks for modernizing it |
| he uses the term "babe" a lot so I think that's the proper alternate. Thanks for all the options. =) |
