EN: Young girl; little girl
This is the classic Pinoy term for a young girl, equivalent to 'little miss'. It's what your lola calls you, your mom's friends call you, and what the manong in the sari-sari store calls you when you buy suka. "Nene, pabili po ng yelo." It has a wholesome, provincial vibe. It can also be used to describe a girl who acts very young, innocent, or demure.
From Spanish 'nena' ('baby girl').
Very common term of address for young girls and sometimes young women. It's generally seen as respectful or affectionate. The stress is on the first syllable.
