Bolivian Spanish word
por ser usted
Meaning: since it's you (special-price phrase)
How it is used in Bolivia
How a casera frames coming down on the price, 'por ser usted, se lo dejo en...'. It's warmth, not a trick: it says the discount is for you, this relationship, this moment. It is never about paying less for who you are or where you're from, that framing has no place here.
