 member since 2005 Nov 16 Questions: 7 Comments: 1 | In the English Mini Quiz for Stringing I Adjectives in a row it shows the English sentence "My friends say my husband is a fun, kind person." But in the translation it shows the word for husband as 旦那. Since the speaker is referring to her own husband would this still be correct or would it be better to use ご主人?
Thank you in advance for any help. | |||||

dannasan one's own husband/another's husband shujin one's own husband goshujin another's husband だんなさん(DANNA SAN) means "one's own husband" and "another's husband". You can use them both. In my opinion, it sounds more formal to use しゅじん (SHUJIN) when referring to your own husband. Keep up the good work! Kanako @ YesJapan Teacher | ||
