[quote=MAY001,230315]When talking about your boy friend or girl friend, you can say 男朋友(Nan 2 Peng 2 You 3) or 女朋友(Nv 3 Peng 2 You 3). But some people may just say 朋友, which is more indirectly. Elder Chinese prefer another expression, 对象(Dui 4 Xiang 4), which has the same meaning as 男朋友 and 女朋友. But fewer and fewer people are using this expression now. e.g.: Sam:你好,梅。 May:你好,山姆。山姆,这是我男朋友/对象,李(Li 3)。李,这是我的朋友山姆。 Lee:你好! Sam:你好! If you are talking about your fiance or fiancee, you should say 未婚夫(Wei 4 Hun 1 Fu 1) or 未婚妻(Wei 4 Hun 1 Qi 1). 未 here means 'Not', and 婚 means 'Marriage' . 夫 and 妻 can be used together to indicate 'Couple'. 夫 means the husband and 妻 means the wife.[/quote]
