German name for girl?

German song Frolin not sure name for girl

German name for girl?
The word for girl is "Maedchen." Pronounced "MADE-shen"





It's usually spelled with an umlaut (those two dots) over the "a," and no "e" before the D.





It's easy to remember if you recall that English is a German language, so a lot of our words are similar to theirs. Thus: Maedchen ... maiden.





The other respondent is correct -- "Fraulein" is indeed the word for "Miss," as in "Miss Smith asked me to call her Barbara."
Reply:Fraulein-it means "Miss"
