WHAT IS THE BESTWORD IN SPANISH FOR A PERSON LIVING WITH SOMEONE AND NOT LEGALLY MARRIED
DO YOU HAVE A BETTER WORD THAN CONVIVIENTE'
4 Respuestas
Living together with someone as a couple romantically? Or as roommates'
convivir
cónyuge if you are couple
compañero/a if you are roommates
and my friend says that it is "relación abierta"
"Pareja de hecho" in a formal context. When speaking with friends or acquiantances you say simply "mi pareja". It doesn't imply that you live with her/him but there is not other word to spicify it.
Conviviente doesn't exist in Spain, neither do "relación abierta" to express that you live with someone without marrying.
"Relación abierta" mens that have sex with other people out of your partner.
Nowadays a lot of people say mi marido/mi mujer when they live together without marrying (documents are not important).
"Compañero" is an old-fashioned manner to name a partner you live with (without documents).
ROMANTICALLY, it is to be used in a form when asking the person who they live with:
esposa
esposo
conyuge
hermana
hermano
etc....
