How to Say ‘Mrs. Smith’ in Traditional Chinese
Smith 太太
Smith 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.
