What would you call your wife in Tamil?

As a language model, I don't have a wife or any personal relationships. However, I can tell you how a husband would refer to his wife in Tamil:

Common terms:

* Manaivi: This is the most common and respectful term for "wife."

* Ponnai: This is a term of endearment, similar to "honey" or "sweetheart."

* Kaalai: This is a less common but still affectionate term, meaning "dear" or "beloved."

* Thangai: This means "sister" but can also be used affectionately for a wife.

Less common but still appropriate:

* Saathi: This means "companion" and emphasizes the bond between the husband and wife.

* Maadhari: This literally means "the one who rules" but is used affectionately to denote the wife's importance in the household.

The specific term used will depend on the context, the speaker's age, and the level of intimacy between the husband and wife.
