Hi reggina,

Cute message, but it sounds a bit redundant. Too many "little" and "very".

Could you find some alternatives, synonyms for those in order to refine the text?

It looks better, yet I'd suggest turning "my little doll" in the first line into: "my dolly"
and "You are a very very sweet and a very beautiful little girl." could be:
"You are really sweet and a lovely little girl".

What do you think?
Does it change the meaning any sense?

I think it's perfect as it is now.

Stavroula: δεν νομίζω ότι είναι σημαντικό να ξέρει ότι σε μισό λεπτό συγκεκριμενα θα πάει στο κρεββάτι και όχι απλώς πολύ γρήγορα....
Lilian Canale: i'd agree with you in this part "You are really sweet and a lovely little girl" but as for ''my dolly''...i don't know it sounds too much!

Το νόημα σε γενικές γραμμές, δεν απέχει πολύ από αυτό της γλώσσας πηγής αλλά ειπάρχουν αρκετά λάθη.

I definitely agree that "my dolly" is very strange. I've never heard anyone say that in English. "Hey baby", or "Hi my sweet" would be better.

But I don't think there's any difference between "very soon" and "in a minute" in this context.
