| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | Form of address used for official letters and business letters, and in letters to inferiors |
| Reference | http://ez.keitai.ne.jp/kojien/5/keisyo.html |
| Comment | This doesn't mean "Mr." because it can be used for women as well as men. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that "dono" is used for letters to inferiors as well as members of an organization and hence it is not considered a polite form of address for personal letters.
Also, I don't find the meaning "person" in the dictionary. |
