* Giovane: This is the most common and general translation, suitable for most situations.
* Giovinetto/Giovinetta: These are more formal and slightly archaic, referring to a young man (giovinetto) or young woman (giovinetta).
* Ragazzo/Ragazza: These words mean "boy" and "girl," respectively, and are used for young people, generally teenagers or younger.
* Bambino/Bambina: These mean "child" or "baby" and are used for very young children.
So, there's no single perfect translation. The best choice depends on the age and gender of the person being described.
