In real, traceable use. Part of the curated seed collection; community review is coming.
Traditional: 女兒
A daughter: someone's female child. 我女儿 or 我的女儿 is 'my daughter', and a son is 儿子. Here 儿 is a full syllable, ér, so the pinyin is nǚ'ér, the apostrophe showing where the second syllable begins.
Con gái, tức người con là nữ. 我女儿 là “con gái tôi”; con trai là 儿子. 儿 ở đây là một âm tiết đầy đủ (ér), nên pinyin viết nǚ'ér; dấu nháy cho biết chỗ bắt đầu âm tiết thứ hai.
