文化的背景

The 'Quinceañera' is a major celebration when a girl turns 15. It is often more important than a wedding. People are generally very direct about age, but it's polite to use 'Usted' when asking an elder. Using 'voseo', the phrase becomes 'Vos tenés... años'. It is common to refer to the elderly as being in the 'Tercera Edad' (Third Age).
