Love this! Is “Nina” a general term of endearment?
“Nina” can be a given name, but also an abbreviation of “menina” (girl). I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for general use; it tends to sound a bit juvenile or slang-ish, even appearing often in rap/hip-hop music 🙂 But of course, anyone can use it if they so choose.
