depinde de context; poti sa spui \"lass\", lassie\", chiar si \"babe\", dar ultima are o nuanta usor vulgara, iar mie, din contextul dat, mi s-a parut ca nu are o astfel de conotatie.

disagree scorpia : Alegerea nu este dintre cele mai fericite, dat fiind ca girlie are o conotatie f.speciala - nude of scantily clad women - a girlie show, a girlie magazine!! De asemenea, atunci cind te adresezi unei tinere cu girlie, conotatia este "offensive"!

nice meeting you, too!
agree Cristina Moldovan do Amaral : girlie este ok in contextul asta. Drept sa spun, nici eu nu m-as simti prea bine daca cineva mi s-ar adresa cu fetito
7 hrs
agree Ciprian Dumea : poate mai "neutru" este "girl" in loc de "girlie"; drept sa spun, eu as cam lasa "fetito" deoparte si as pune doar "hi" :-D
1 day 6 hrs
agree Сергей Лузан : Nice set of options!
3 days 1 hr
agree Adela Porumbel : Girlie nu e perceput neaparat ca offensive sau peiorativ, deși baby poate e mai potrivit aici.

hi, babe

although the translation of Andrei is a literal translation of the Romanian text, I think this one is more common in English usage
Peer comment(s):

disagree scorpia : corectie: a se citi "nude or scantily.."
2 hrs
chiar nu cred ca se aplica, pt ca se aude in toate filmele si niciodata nu era de tipul "nude or scantily"
agree Cristina Moldovan do Amaral : e ok in contextul de fata, fetito nefiind un mod de adresare prea politicos
7 hrs
agree Сергей Лузан : Acceptable for the US for sure.

Hi, baby! I'm so glad to have met you!

Baby poate sa fie mai inofensiv decit babe..
Peer comment(s):

neutral Cristina Moldovan do Amaral : nu vad nici o diferenta intre baby si babe, amandoua sunt utilizate de machos in aceeasi masura :)

Hi, kid!

You can say I have a soft spot for old Boggey, but I really like this one.

I guess you could also say "gal", which is not as rude as "girlie", nor as locally specific as "lass".

Good luck,
gayetika.
