Translating “young man” and “young woman” @Joze yes, that's true. In a formal context you might even call a 10 year old señor. |

Translating “young man” and “young woman” Nice and thorough. However, there's something I don't agree with: men also dislike being called "señor" when they're below 40. |

Why is “Enrique” pronunced as though it has a double “r”? changed S example for a more consistent one |

Why is “Enrique” pronunced as though it has a double “r”? @LauraMoyàAlcover I changed your S example because Israel, being a Hebrew word, is usually pronounced with a soft R by jews (native Spanish speakers, that is) |

Greetings for presents and cards @Alenanno I did not intend to be harsh, but firm (sorry if it came out wrong). It is disrespectful because: (1) Passover has nothing to do with Easter (2) It has been celebrated for several more centuries (3) Easter was, for centuries and until very recently, a good excuse to beat up or murder jews, so it's not something we want associated with our holiday. |

Greetings for presents and cards @Alenanno why do you assume most people know what Christmas is and not what Passover is? (Actually, we don't even have to deal with "most" people, only the educated ones that are likely to use this site) Besides, calling it "Jewish easter" is disrespectful. |

What does “lo” in “(no) lo es” refer to? @hippietrail it's not loísmo. |

Age range of niño, chico, muchacho, joven, etc @vartec you're right; mozo is used there instead (which means waiter in Latin America) |

¡Buenas! greeting in morning It's clear that buenas is an informal greeting, but these days most of the world is informal. Maybe you wouldn't use it in court, with the military, or talking to a new corporate customer, but I'd say 95% of the time buenas is fine. (I do admit that living in Buenos Aires I might be biased. Perhaps this is not the case in more conservative countries/cities) |

¡Buenas! greeting in morning I wouldn't say buenas could ever be considered disrespectful. Only the most formal situations would require buenos días, etc |
