A man's motjie is his wife, though it can also refer to a steady girlfriend or fiancee. Used mostly by the Cape coloured community, it carries a light connotation of nagging or nay-saying, such as in the sentence "Kla djou motjie nie as djy heeldag oppie yard is nie?" (Doesn't your wife complain if you are on the yard all day?)
