What does Fraulein mean in German?

Answer 1

The correct spelling is "Fräulein", pronouced "froy-line." Literally, it means "little lady" (junge Frau) in German, and it translates in English as "young lady" or "Miss".

Answer 2

Fraeulein is an old-fashioned word meaning "miss" or "young woman" (i.e. an unmarried woman). In modern German it often has a vaguely condescending and thus offensive nuance, so it is not really used any more--Frau is used for all women almost exclusively.

Answer 3

dear Miss(y), dear girl (literally)

young lady (humorous)

Fräulein is a dated expression almost exclusively used when adressing (in a rather condescending manner) or scolding a little girl nowadays. A grown woman (even a girl in her teens) would be adressed as 'Frau [name]'.

Answer 4

(my) young lady (humorous)

(my) Miss (outdated)

Answer 5

yes, my girl

Answer 6

Pretty or beautiful girl.
