Feminine Plural

This word is the plural form of 'señora.' In Spanish, nouns that end in a vowel simply add an '-s' to become plural, and because it refers to females, it is always a feminine word.

Use for Addressing

Use 'Señoras' when you are directly talking to a group of adult women, much like saying 'Ladies' in English. It is a polite and respectful way to get their attention.

Using 'Señoras' for Mixed Groups

Mistake:Using 'Señoras' to address a group that includes both men and women.

Correction: When addressing a mixed group (even if there are 99 women and 1 man), always use the masculine plural 'señores' (gentlemen/people). The masculine form is the default for mixed groups.
