Esposa is a wife. Suppose a man is married twice or three times, how do you express the plural of spouse (esposa)?

It's not a coincidence that if a person has more than one wife, las esposas also means handcuffs.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Like in English, one can often make a plural simply by adding an 'S' in Spanish. This is the case with la esposa. It's las esposas.

Here's a link to how to make plurals in Spanish when it's not as simple as just adding an 'S'.

Update: Ooh, sorry. I should have checked the link before sending you to it. It's not very accurate. I would recommend doing a Google search for another explanation.

Las mujeres son esposas y el hombre es un bígamo - o, así es en los E.E.U.U. En otras culturas, tal vez no.

Some of the rules in that page are simply wrong, by the way. They give a list of what they call "exception", and they are actually following the rule perfectly (not their pseudo-rule).
