Answer 3

Hi Sara
What James said about editing is correct, however, once it turns yellow, you do have to "click" on it to gain access to the editing panel. I know a notice comes up which says click to edit, but this takes a few seconds to appear and you might miss it..

Answer 4

I dont know how to edit the previous post.

Just put your cursor over your post, and it will turn yellow. You can edit it as you like. You have 15 minutes in which to do this after first posting.

He would say Me llamo Eric y esta es mi marida Sara

I don't think marida is used very often. It is far more common to say esposa or mujer. Saying "mi mujer" in Spanish does not have the same meaning as "my woman" in English, the latter being somewhat crude, while the former is not.

Answer 5

Sorry, I dont know how to edit the previous post.

If Eric was introducing himself and me. He would say Me llamo Eric y esta es mi marida Sara

Hope that helps

Answer 6

Hi,

I just saw a program on this yesterday.

They were saying that you need to say, for example I am Sara. I would say Me llamo Sara
I would then introduce my husband... this is my husband Eric. I would say Este es mi marido Eric

So i would end up saying Me llamo Sara y este es mi marido Eric.

Answer 7

Esposa in this context does not mean spouse, it means wife. Esposo (or marido) is husband. In a legal context, spouse would be cónyugue. Naturally, just as in English, there are other, more colloquial ways to say wife.

Answer 8

Jeff
I think you are wrong. My name is or (I call myself) is "me llamo". You can say "mi nombre es" but not mi llama.

A more formal way to introduce your wife is "tengo el gusto de presentarle a mi mujer or esposa" - I have the pleasure of introducing my wife to you.

Answer 9

Oops, this is my woman'

Answer 10

Thanks Jim, so this says "This is my spouse, her name is Anna?
Appreciate the help.

Answer 11

Este es mi esposa. Su nombre es Anna. I think in Spain the term "mujer" my be used more often then "esposa" for wife.
