English term or phrase: big mistake little girl
part of a script about vietnam

Explanation:
Since you did not give any further context of the term in question, I find that there are at least two different ways of translating this into Vietnamese.

1. Big mistake, little girl! (Little girl, that's a big mistake you have made!)
Sai (Lam) roi, be gai oi!

2. Big mistake little girl (You are a small girl but how can you make such a big mistake? or ~ but what a big mistake that you make!)

Be gai nho (ma) nham lan (sai lam) lon!

Hope this helps you in some way. As moderator of this subcommunity, I encourage you to give points to the answer that you like best. This gesture will give translators an incentive to help users with difficult terms. Thank you.

I wish to thank you for your help. I am writing a script about a hero of the Vietnam war, and how it affected all those on every side who were caught up in it, and I wanted to be as accurate whenever I refer to Vietnam as I can. I visit sites to get visuals, and will come back here if I use anymore language. Thank you.
