How to say: “Will you marry me?” in Mandarin 2

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Now the 2nd way to say “Will you marry me?”

This is used by a lady to ask a man:

nǐ     yuànyì        qúwǒ     ma
ni3  yuan4yi4 qu2wo3 ma?
你   愿意      娶我     吗?
you be willing  marry  me question?  (= Are you willing to marry me?)

yuan4yi4 愿意= to be willing
qu3 娶 = to marry a girl/lady   (in this sentence, changed to 2nd tone because of wo3 is 3rd tone)
ma 吗 = a question that changes a statement to a question.
