How do you pronounce our wife in Chinese?

You can't directly translate "our wife" into a single Chinese word. The concept of "our" implies a shared relationship, which needs to be expressed through other words. Here's how you can express it in Chinese, depending on the context:

1. "我们的妻子" (wǒmen de qīzi)

* wǒmen (我们) means "we"

* de (的) is a possessive particle, meaning "of"

* qīzi (妻子) means "wife"

This is the most literal translation of "our wife" and would be used in formal or neutral contexts.

2. "我们俩的妻子" (wǒmen liǎ de qīzi)

* liǎ (俩) means "two" and is often used to emphasize that it's "we two".

This is a more specific way to say "our wife" and is commonly used in casual settings.

3. "你的妻子" (nǐ de qīzi)

* (你) means "you"

This translation is used when addressing someone who is also sharing the wife in question. It's more appropriate in a casual conversation with a partner or close friend.

4. "我们的爱人" (wǒmen de àirén)

* àirén (爱人) means "lover" or "spouse" and has a more romantic connotation.

This translation can be used to express "our wife" in a more affectionate way.

Ultimately, the best way to express "our wife" in Chinese will depend on the specific situation and the relationship between the speakers.
