Domande riguardo a frasi esempio con, spiegazione d'utilizzo di "Estimada"s

A: Dear Madam. A pleasure to meet you

A: In English, we usually say "dear" at the greeting of a letter, such as "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" for a formal letter. You can also use it informally, such as "Dear Tom" or "Dear friend".

Thats the most common use for dear. It really is both formal or informal and it can be both feminine and masculine.

You could also say something like "my dear friend, how are you doing today?" but it isn't used in that context very often.

So to answer your question, "dear" could be both formal or more informal. i can't think of another word that would be a more formal replacement for it.

Hope that helps a little!
