Example Word

女房: wife. The Japanese noun '女房 (にょうぼう)' refers to one's wife. It is an old-fashioned and somewhat formal term, often used in historical or literary contexts. In modern Japanese, it is less commonly used in everyday conversation, where '妻 (つま)' or '奥さん (おくさん)' are more typical. However, it can still be found in traditional settings or when referring to someone else's wife in a respectful manner. Example sentences: His wife is very kind「彼の女房はとても優しい」(かれのにょうぼうはとてもやさしい). The lord's wife lived in the castle「殿様の女房は城に住んでいた」(とのさまのにょうぼうはしろにすんでいた).
