Long explanation:

The term 'bà' in Vietnamese is a personal pronoun that carries a certain level of respect and is leveraged to refer to women who are older or are regarded as senior figures. This can be the equivalent of saying 'Mrs.' or 'madam' in English. The personal pronoun 'bà' can be used to address someone directly, or as a third-person reference.
