Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking cultures, hospitality is a point of pride. After a guest’s visit, it’s customary to thank them for *quedarse* (staying) rather than just *estar* (being) because *quedarse* implies a longer, more personal presence, often overnight. Adjust the pronoun to match gender (*nosotras*) if the group you’re speaking for is all female.
