Bolivian Spanish word
don / doña
Meaning: honorific for a respected, established figure
How it is used in Bolivia
Used with a first name, not a last name, 'Don Miguel', never 'Don Terceros'. It signals respect without implying an academic title.
Goes to respected elders regardless of the org chart, the portero can be don Hugo while the gerente is simply señor Antelo. Age and respect decide, not title.
