Esposo, Marido

» by Stephanie in: Nouns

Esposo and marido both mean husband.

But where esposa means wife, marida is not a word.

There is a custom here for a man to call his wife “mi vieja” and a woman to call her husband “mi viejo”. Literally “my old woman” or “my old man”.

    hehe.. that´s funny to us see that. But it´s true.. We call sometimes “my little woman” “my little man”. Minha velhinha , meu velhinho…
