姑娘 SPOKEN CHUNK

miss / young lady

In historical or period dramas, this is the standard polite address for an unmarried young woman; in modern northern Chinese, it means 'girl' or 'daughter'.

有什么想问的 SPOKEN CHUNK

have anything you want to ask

Uses the '的' structure at the end to nominalize the verb phrase ('things that you want to ask'), very natural in spoken Chinese.
