This is the 8141st most frequent Portuguese word.
sra
"Mrs." or "Ms." (abbreviation for "Senhora").
Here, 'Sra.' serves the same purpose of denoting respect and formality before a woman's last name, showing that she is likely married or otherwise posited with a title.
Onde está a Sra. Silva?
Where is Mrs. Silva?
In this context, 'Sra.' refers respectfully to a woman without specifying a name, akin to saying 'the lady' in English.
A Sra. estava esperando na recepção antes da reunião.
The Lady was waiting in the reception before the meeting.
In this sentence, 'Sra.' is used as an abbreviation for 'Senhora', a respectful title used before a woman's name, equivalent to 'Mrs.' in English.
