How to Say ‘Mrs. Smith’ in Traditional Chinese
Smith 太太
^LAST^ tài tài
[tài tài]
💬 Usage Tip: Titles go after the family name, so you say [陳太太], not the title first. You can reuse this pattern with other titles like [陳先生].
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: [太太] is a married-woman title, so it's more specific than English "Ms." Use it when you know that title fits; otherwise [小姐] or the person's full name may be safer.
