Cultural Note
Discurso refers to both formal speeches and discourse in general. Wedding speeches ('discursos de boda') are common but tend to be less structured than in Anglo traditions — they are often more spontaneous and emotional. Political discursos are also a significant cultural form, with rhetorical skill highly valued across the Spanish-speaking world.
