   Polish would be “panna.”
   (pronounce both n’s, or it’ll mean “sir, your…” which would not make any sense)

   But “panna” sounds a little bit old-fashioned and formal. In an everyday context you’d probably call a young woman “Pani” (ma’am).

   I’m Hungarian, so here you go.

   Hölgy = lady
   Hölgyem = my lady
   Fiatal hölgy = young lady
   Lány = girl
   Asszony = an older lady or someone who has a husband

   If you are interested in how to pronunce it, let me know.

   I’m Hungarian and in Hungary we often use the expression of “Hölgy” or “Kisasszony” as young woman.

   BUT!

   You can call ladies as “Kisasszony” but if you’d like to use “Hölgy” you should give a termination to it, so it’s “Hölgyem” (= my lady)
