Furthermore, in Cantonese the first wife is always referred as DAI POH 大婆 not Tai Lai....only subsequent wives or mistresses or what not (old word: concubines) are titled LAI..so YI LAI, SAM LAI, SEI LAI..(confined to be used by husbands) ..when subordinates greet them it will be YI YI TAI, SAM YI TAI, SEI YI TAI
