Nena
/Sounds like "NEH" (as in "net") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
An affectionate term for girls, young women, or a romantic partner across the Spanish Caribbean. "Mi nena" can be your daughter, niece, girlfriend, or best friend: the warmth is in the tone. In Puerto Rico it is so common that teachers use it for young students.
“My girls are at swimming practice, I am picking them up at six.”
“Baby, I brought you coffee just the way you like it.”
