Hungarian term or phrase: Ó, ti nők...!
Egy férfi mondja, aki a női szeszély egy megnyilvánulásával találkozik, egy számára kedves nő részéről. Tehát kedvesen, szeretettel, önmagának. Nem szabad, hogy valóban elítélő vagy lebecsmérlő legyen, legfeljebb kicsit beletörődő, hogy "ilyenek vagytok, lám - de azért csodálatosak:) ". Nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy az "Oh, you women" jó megoldás-e. Önálló mondat, feliratozás.

English translation:Ah, women!...
Explanation:
...or just "Women!" The "ah" softens the statement, making it clearer that the speaker is not being deprecatory. You can also just do "Women!" without too much risk. Both of these are generally playful. Hard to imagine them being truly harsh statements.

Womenfolk...!


Explanation:
ez picit több, mint egyszerűen "women" -- és kedvesek / jó barátok közt egyáltalán nem bántó :-) (szerintem) -- nem kell mellé "ah"

That's what you are, women!


Explanation:
Próbálom beleképzelni magam a helyzetbe. Én talán ezt mondanám. Ezt lehet kedvesen is mondani.
