English translation:bright eyes
Explanation:
A close-to-literal translation would be "lovely eye" or "charming eye." More loosely, "bright eyes" or "bright-eye," perhaps. Roughly equivalent English idioms in this context might include "sweetie" or, stretching things a bit, "cutie pie." Actually, the Finnish expression sounds better than these, more poetic, intimate. It's nice, to be sure.
