老婆 (lǎopo) is used to refer to one's wife in an informal way. It is a term of endearment, and is often used by couples in private conversations. For example, a husband might say to his wife, "老婆，你看起来很美！" (lǎopo, nǐ kàn qǐlái hěn měi!) which translates to "Wife, you look beautiful!"

The word 老婆 (lǎopo) is an informal term for "wife" in Chinese. It is commonly used in spoken language, and it is often used affectionately or playfully.
In formal settings or when addressing someone outside of one's close circle, the more formal term for "wife" is 夫人 (fūrén) or 太太 (tàitai). These terms are more respectful and polite, and are commonly used in written language or in formal speech.
