In Spanish, the word for “married” is “casado” when referring to a male, and “casada” when referring to a female. This term derives from the verb “casar,” which means “to marry.”
For example, if you want to say “He is married,” you would say “Él está casado.” Conversely, if you want to say “She is married,” you would say “Ella está casada.” The use of the verb “estar” (to be) indicates a state of being rather than a permanent condition, which is common in Spanish language usage.
When discussing marriage in a broader sense or in plural forms, the terms change slightly. You might say “están casados” for “they are married” regardless of gender.
Overall, understanding these basic terms can help you navigate conversations about marriage in Spanish-speaking contexts.
