    A cutie is someone you find attractive and niceCutie是指你覺得有吸引力又討喜的人—— pretty, sweet, a bit adorable漂亮、甜美、有點惹人愛。 It is informal and warm這個詞很口語,也帶著溫暖的感覺。 Friends say it朋友之間會這樣說; someone who is a little flirty says it帶點調情意味的人也會這樣說。

    You can call a child a cutie with no romance in it at all; with adults it can lean toward I think you're cute. It is not a serious word. You would not put it in a school report or a job reference.

    It is built from cute plus the friendly little ending -ie, the kind that makes a name feel small and fond.

    It is built from cute plus the friendly little ending -ie它是由cute加上表示親暱的小尾巴-ie組成的, the kind that makes a name feel small and fond這種結尾會讓一個詞聽起來變小、變可愛。

    Though actually, with adults it can sound too familiar if you do not know the person well, and in some mouths it sounds a bit American or a bit old-fashioned. There is also a small orange sold under a brand name Cuties — that is a fruit label, not this meaning.
