wife

Mnemonic


A 老婆 wife is the woman a man marries, later entering 老 old age alongside her husband and becoming an 婆 old woman, but we say that part [5] quietly because it is a bit rude to mention woman's age.

Usage


我 爱 我 老婆。

I love my wife.

我 老婆 今天 做 了 晚餐。

My wife made dinner today.

我 老婆 很 漂亮。

My wife is very beautiful.
