esposa

wife

noun es-POH-sah Less Common

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

My wife will arrive this afternoon.
