姐儿 (jiě ér) — (colloquial) young girl; lass; (colloquial, affectionate) used to address a female friend teasingly or playfully; (colloquial, plural) sisters; close female friends
Definition
A colloquial, playful word for a young girl or a group of close female friends (often with the diminutive 小, as in 小姐儿). 姐 alone means 'older sister' — the 儿 suffix makes it casual and affectionate, not a family term.
