How do you say pretty lady in Tagalog?

There's no single, direct translation for "pretty lady" in Tagalog that carries the same connotation. Here's why and some options:

* "Maganda" (ma-gan-da) is the most common word for "beautiful" or "pretty" in Tagalog. You could say "Magandang babae" (ma-gan-dang ba-ba-e), which translates to "beautiful woman."

* "Ganda" (gan-da) is the noun form of "beautiful." You could say "Ang ganda niya" (ang gan-da ni-ya) which means "She is beautiful."

* "Maganda siya" (ma-gan-da si-ya) translates directly to "She is pretty."

However, it's important to consider the context and the person you're talking to. "Magandang babae" can sound a bit formal or even objectifying. Here are some more nuanced ways to say "pretty lady" in Tagalog:

* "Maganda ka" (ma-gan-da ka) - "You are beautiful," a more affectionate way to compliment someone.

* "Napakaganda mo" (na-pa-ka-gan-da mo) - "You are so beautiful."

* "Ang ganda ng ngiti mo" (ang gan-da ng ngi-ti mo) - "Your smile is beautiful," a less direct but still positive compliment.

Ultimately, the best way to say "pretty lady" in Tagalog depends on the situation and the person you're speaking to.
