EN: Ma'am
The formal, somewhat intimidating title for the matriarch, the boss lady, or the rich tita who gives the biggest aguinaldo. If you see her in a teleserye, she probably owns a hacienda and has a signature slap. 'Magandang umaga po, Senyora.' You say this with respect, and maybe a little bit of fear.
From Spanish "señora" (lady, Mrs.).
Always capitalized when used as a title before a name (e.g., Senyora Cruz). It implies respect and formality. The male equivalent is "Senyor".
