esposa
wife
The Spanish word for 'wife' is 'esposa'. It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to a married woman, especially in relation to her spouse. It could be used in several contexts, such as introducing one's wife ('Esta es mi esposa') or speaking about one's wife ('Mi esposa es profesora'). It's important to note that it always needs to accord with the female gender, even in adjectival agreement.
