Hi all,
Does anyone know which is the equivalent word/title for "licenciado" in Spanish?
I found "licenciate" as translation, but I am not really sure if they are the same. :confused:
Degree, Bachelor?
Depends on the context.
It is a college graduate.
In Mexico and Central America it also means lawyer or attorney-at-law.
It also means "discharged" as in discharged from military service.
Here is a link that has two pages of examples of the use of "licenciado":
Licenciado | Spanish to English Translation - SpanishDict
Note: Go to bottom of page to find examples, which are continued on next two pages.
Be extra careful though! Sometimes, Licenciado is just another word to address another person in a respectful manner. In this case, it would be the equivalent of saying "Mr." So "Licenciado Martínez" = "Mr. Martínez."
That's true Franco.
In that context, would you say that it is the equivalent of "don" or "caballero", or does it have a different connotation?
I'm not sure theres a direct equivalent for "licenciado." In Spanish it's a type of University degree that corresponds to a Bachelor degree in English.Quote:
