noun
Familiar and somewhat affectionate term for a young girl or young lady, often used by older people or in a friendly, informal context. The ちゃん suffix softens the word 嬢 (じょう), which on its own can mean 'young woman' or 'miss'.
近所の嬢ちゃんがいつも元気に挨拶してくれる。
The young girl in the neighborhood always greets me cheerfully.
おじいさんは店に来た嬢ちゃんに飴をあげた。
The old man gave a candy to the young lady who came to the shop.
