Learn English – Respectful alternative to “Madam”

synonyms

Madam is the word to call a woman with respect. Of course it has another meaning. Is there another word used to call a woman with respect?

Best Answer

There's dame, ma'am, lady, or noblewoman. Unfortunately, most of these are reserved titles for royalty. The one I find the most commonly used is ma'am (which is short for madam), although this too is a term used in Britain to address the queen or a royal princess according to Dictionary.com.
