How to use
In formal contexts, the word 'mujer' is often used to refer to a woman in a professional or official capacity. For example, 'La mujer es la directora de la empresa' (The woman is the company director). However, in informal settings, the word 'mujer' can be used to refer to any adult female, as in 'Me encanta la mujer que está cantando en la televisión' (I love the woman singing on TV). A common learner mistake is to use 'mujer' as a verb, as in 'Ella se hace mujer' (She becomes a woman), when in fact the verb 'hacerse mujer' is not a common expression.
