Usage Note

Bondad denotes an innate quality of moral goodness or kindness — 'tuvo la bondad de ayudarme' (she was kind enough to help me). The polite formula 'tenga la bondad de...' (please be so kind as to...) is common in formal register. The related adjective is bondadoso (kind-hearted). It differs from amabilidad, which is situational courtesy rather than a character trait.

Examples

"Actuó con bondad hacia todos."

Natural Translation

She acted with kindness toward everyone.
