"Zij is jouw echtgenote."

Translation: She is your wife.

Really?! How long was I asleep?!

[FaizalZahid]

Which one is more common? Echtegenote or vrouw?

[chilian51]

I would say that 'Zij is jouw vrouw' is more commonly used than 'zij is jouw echtgenote'. The latter is more formal.

[SirrySol]

Echtgenote is also a partner

[RigelKentian]

Yes, but not all partners are echtgenotes. An ''echtgenoot'' or ''echtgenote'' is someone who is married, while partners may or may not be married.

edit: it just occurred to me that the literal translation of "echtgenote/echtgenoot'' is ''spouse''.

[ChrisCerny]

Couldn't another term be "Zij is jouw vrouw"?

[fruitbakje]

yes, if Duolingo doesn't allow it you should report it

what is the origins or root words of echtgenoot ? echt = real? genoot= ?

[PeterHughe13438]

Whilst 'echt' used as an adjective means true, real, authentic; as a noun 'echt' means marriage, wedlock. Therefore the formation of 'echtgenoot / echtgenote' is 'echt' marriage; and 'genoot (m) / genote' (f) partner, i.e. husband (m), wife (f) and spouse (gender neutral or indeterminate).

[SSmethwick]

Why can't we use "uw" instead of "jouw" here, if on a prior exercise of this unit they were interchangeable?

[MentalPinball]

Probably it's just a missing translation, since "zij is uw echtgenote" is correct as well.
