An honorific is a form of address in the second person, usually implying the person's station in life or [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] relationship with the speaker. For example, "Mister", "Doctor", "Miss" and "Officer" are English honorific titles. [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] In the Dominican Republic, honorifics can be a little complicated in comparison to those in English. There are subtleties which must be understood so one does not offend.
Amigo and Amiga
In dealing with anyone providing you a service, it is acceptable to use amigo or amiga. For example, vendors at a market, servers in a restaurant, and salespeople at a store.
Usted
The literal [url=http://www.getconversational.com]hollister france[/url] translation is "you", and we all know referring to someone simply as "you" in the English speaking world is quite rude. In Dominican culture the same is true, except for complete strangers. People you do not know, do not want to [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] get to know, and wish them to know your preference for distance, can be referred to with "usted". The exception to that rule is the elderly, who are regarded with a great deal of respect.
Don and Dona
These are not first names or shortened versions of Donald or Donatella. They are honorifics that would be appropriate for the elderly and in front of their first name. For example, "Dona Maria" or "Don Jose".
Senor and Senora
Generally, Senor and Senora are the equivalent of Mr. and Mrs., yet they are also used in professional settings for even unmarried persons. When speaking of or to an acquaintance, one [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk[/url] would say "Senor Smith" until they have given permission to use their first name.
Compadre and Companero
In Spanish, a compadre is a "co-father" and a companero is a "co-mother". Thus, a child's compadre and companero are their godparents and [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] regarded with great affection throughout the life of the child. During the 1960's, along with [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] the development of the Dominican Revolutionary Party, the term compadre came to incorporate the brotherhood of classmates and coworkers.
Mi Amor
In English it means "my love" but is not meant [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich parka[/url] in a loving, derogatory, harassing or [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] demeaning manner. It is simply an expression of friendliness, similar to the British tradition of calling someone "dear". Men say "Mi Amor" to men, ladies to men, men to ladies and everything in between. Do not take offence, it is simply the Dominican way of being friendly.
While in the Dominican Republic, do your best to speak [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] as much Spanish as possible. Your efforts will be met with friendliness and patience, plus they will understand if you make a [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] mistake. When in doubt, ask!
