The term "waifu" is a word that is used prevalently in the Manga/Cartoon, and Video-game fandoms. The origin of the word comes from the katakana word for wife; ワイフ
However, Japanese-speakers will never use that word. The real word for wife is 妻 (tsuma/sai).
"Waifu" is used to refer to a fictional girl or woman (usually in Anime, Manga, or video-games) that you have sexual attraction to, and you would even marry.
Remember; "ワイフ waifu" and "妻 tsuma" are completely different. Waifu is a joke word that Anime fans call fictional female characters that they love and would marry if they were real. Your tsuma is your real wife. That is the real Japanese word for wife.
Example of waifu:
"Do you like Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates?"
"I LOVE Camilla! Her large breasts, her curves,... she's my waifu!" 😍
(This guy has sexual attaraction towards Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates. He would even marry her if she was real, he called her his "waifu"
Example of 妻 :
私は今日結婚しました これは私の妻キコです
「I got married today. This is my wife Kiko.」
(A man was married to Kiko that day. She is real, not a fictional character. The real Japanese word for wife was used.
My waifu isn't real.

A creature of disdain A non japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calls themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong. KEEP IN MIND: that a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with there own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo..
