referring to one's wife or husband question -
05-19-2011, 01:50 PM
Can't believe that I am asking some pretty darn basic questions here.......
There are a lot of ways to say "wife" in 日本語. If I were introducing my wife to someone, (As in, "This is my wife, Mary."), what is the most typical common word usage in contemporary usage (mid-formal) language? Is "okusan" ( 奥さん) the most common usage?
And conversely if my wife were introducing me to someone, is "shujin" the most common usage today?
Appreciate the help.
best,
..............john
