Nothing? It is a question word. It means it is a yes/no question. We often skip it in informal speach, but it is necessary in more formal situations or in writing. It is important to use when you can't rely on intonation to be heard.
"Czy" is that context would sort of be like the word "are" in "Are you...".
I always used to tranlsate the equivalent word c^u in Esperanto as "tell me whether" for beginners This may be useful trick for Polish czy
Becouse in polish like and in ukranian we make questions not only with word like czy but and with just tember of the voice and u tottaly must understend from kontekst of speaking what human mean. Without czy it is can be and question and strike speaking need heard how it sound like question or like strike speaking

You have to learn noun cases in Polish. Dziewczynka is in the nominative case, and dziewczynką is in the instrumental case. After the verb "is/are," the noun takes the instrumental case in Polish.

If you don't read the comment thread but ask a question, will you read the answer? This question has already been repeatedly asked and answered here in this comment thread.

LOOOOOL!!! :-D
Dziewczynka is a gender-feminine noun. "-em" ending is for gender-masculine nouns.
why czy ty jesteś dziewczynką is incorrect. Why I can't add the pronoun
