English term or phrase: you are cute
its used in a sentence.. like when you are telling someone that they are cute
alana
Finnish translation:Olet söpö.
Explanation:
I have a feeling what's needed here is a singular. The previous translation was for plural, as in "you (referring to more than one person) are cute". "Olet söpö" refers to only one "you".

Explanation:
First one formal, second one colloquial and everyday speech (the first one would not be used by someone who also uses the word "cute"...) :-)

agree  Timo Lehtilä: Yes, but 'cute' can also mean 'clever', 'smart'. In this case the translation could be 'Te olette nokkelia'.
