Oh my goodness… this is so lovely! What a gracious lady she is. 🙂
“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.

These videos with Avó Odete, sometimes bring tears to my eyes, especially this one. Lucky you Rui to have captured these moments on video!
Love this! Is “Nina” a general term of endearment?
