ακριβή μου τοματούλα


Explanation:
Still, a lot depends on what precedes and what follows, on how the phrase interacts with the rest of the text. If a poem, what kind of poem? If prose, it is relevant perhaps to ask, why a tomato?

πολυαγαπημένη μου μικρούλα


Explanation:
Η προσφώνηση "ντοματούλα" δεν συνηθίζεται στην Ελλάδα. Αφού είναι λογοτεχνικό κείμενο θα κάνουμε προσαρμογή. Καλό θα ήταν να έχουμε περισσότερες πληροφορίες, δηλ. πού απευθύνεται η προσφώνηση, σε παιδί, ενήλικα, ποια είναι η σχέση,κλπ.
