Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries ‘mayores’ is a respectful way to refer to older adults. In more formal contexts you might hear ‘personas de la tercera edad’ or simply ‘senior’. Avoid using ‘viejos’, which can sound disrespectful. Also, when promoting senior programs, it’s common to emphasize the social and health benefits, not just the age factor.
