Usage Note
Esposa is the feminine form of esposo (husband). The plural esposas has a notable double meaning: 'wives' and 'handcuffs' — the same word for both, so context matters. The pair esposo/esposa is neutral in register; marido is a common colloquial alternative for husband.
Examples
"Mi esposa llegará esta tarde."
Natural Translation
