Questions & Answers about Её супруг очень терпимый человек и часто ищет компромисс.
Why does the sentence use «супруг» instead of «муж»? Do they mean the same thing?
Both «супруг» and «муж» mean husband, but they differ in style and nuance:
- «муж» is the most common, neutral everyday word for husband.
- «супруг» is more formal, often used in:
- official speech (documents, announcements)
- polite, “elevated” style
- journalism and written language
The feminine forms are:
- муж → жена (wife)
- супруг → супруга (wife/spouse, formal)
So «Её супруг» could be translated as “Her husband” or “Her spouse,” with a slightly formal or careful tone.
What exactly is «её»? Why is it the same form in all situations?
