And there are lots of Spanish words that sound similar...so you have to listen carefully. Like example, armario and amarillo....♥

I think espos@ is more formal or literary.

Well, in Spain we use with the same meaning those words, so marido is the same as esposo (husband) and mujer is the same as esposa (wife), but is more common to use marido/mujer, is less formal...
And in fact we have less homophones than in English, so, armario is quite different from amarillo because the first r or armario is quite strong, and they have different accents also...

Esposo is male spouse
Esposa is female spouse
Marido is husband
Mujer is woman but is used as wife (so men say she is my woman )
In fact when married ( catholic ) the priest says I declare you Marido y Mujer ( Husband and woman)
Esposa also means handcuff, esposas handcuffs and esposado is handcuffed

I can answer the esposo/esposa part, at least. The word ending in "o" is the masculine form of the word spouse. The word ending in "a" is the feminine form of the word spouse. Hope this helps a little bit, anyway. Peace.

Hello, 1) Some differences in pronunciation on some words as well as certain words having different meanings as we do in English. 2) The vast majority of Spanish speaking people live in Latin America. I am fluent in Spanish but have no problem conversing with people from Spain. If they come up with a word or phrase I don't know I simply ask. There is of course the Castilian dialect, quite different but not that many use it it seems so learning it in detail seems to be a moot point. Cheers, Michael Kelly

"marido" means "husband"
"mujer" means "women"
"esposo" means husband too
"esposa" means "wife"
and when you say :
"husband and wife"
in spanish is:
"marido y mujer"
and esposo , esposa are another way of saying wife or husband
did you know that esposas or esposa also means handcuffs or handcuff
