lekker ding


Explanation:
Hi Holly,

Seeing that you are refering to a pretty girl, I would chose this option.

If it would be in the context of a man saying that it to his girlfriend, it would translate as : schat(je), lieverd etc.

Knappe griet


Explanation:
"Babe" wordt meestal nogal op een macho-achtige manier gebruikt, mannen ondereen. "She's a babe..." bijvoorbeeld en dan bedoelen ze eigenlijk "knappe griet".

lekker wijffie, moordgriet


Explanation:
is nog een mogelijkheid, eventueel kun je nog kiezen uit (sorry, maar de voorbeelden komen rechtstreeks uit de ref.):

- muts: pijpen + to give a blowjob Used commonly, "Die muts kan me toch lekker pijpen!" meaning "That babe gives great head!"

- schatje babe

- wijf girl or babe literally a bitch Although literally it means bitch it's not that strong anymore.
