in that witcher gifset with yennefer and ciri that's not even really 'daughter', because 'daughter' would be 'córko!' (nice, but a more formal way). what she says is a sweeter, more of a pet version of 'daughter', would be typically used towards younger children. it's really the same meaning as in 'daddy's/mommy's little girl', so truly what she says is 'my little girl, how much you've grown'

Ahh this just makes that scene even more beautiful and heartbreaking!  ;__;

I’m guessing she may have used the same word in the original version of the books. I haven’t finished them yet but i remember someone saying that the biggest difference in Yennefer’s characterization from the books to tw3 was that in the game they went for a generally colder, aloof demeanor while in the books she had become a big softie in the end. Personally i’m more than fine with both but in this case? Seeing Ciri safe and sound for the first time after who knows how long and after everything she’s been through to keep her safe? It makes perfect sense that she would drop all formalities for her little girl.

Thank you so much Ollie, that’s a nice touch ♥
