Hi, everybody, welcome back to top words. My name is Alisha and today we're going to talk about 10 words for relationships and marriage. So let's go.
Boyfriend, girlfriend, the first word or first pair of words is boyfriend or girlfriend, a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
These are words we use for a person you are not married to but a person you are dating.
So if the person you see regularly, if the person you are in the relationship with is a boy, you can say he is my boyfriend.
If the person you are in a relationship with is a girl, you can say she's my girlfriend. I want to see my boyfriend. I want to see my girlfriend.
I haven't seen my boyfriend in a long time. When's next time you're going to see your girlfriend? So we use these for people we are not married to.
They are just people we are dating. We can use the word especially for women.
We sometimes use girlfriend to mean our female friends, like I'm going for dinner with my girlfriends this weekend. In this case there's not really a romantic nuance.
Otherwise, there's that usually there's that nuance of dating someone. In a sentence: Do you have a girlfriend?
Husband, wife, the next pair of words is husband and wife. Husband is used for a man you are married to. Wife is used for a woman you are married to.
