How to say: Will You Marry Me in Cantonese （2）
Another verb that means “marry” in Cantonese is 娶。 It really means “(a man) marry (a woman)”.
So for a girl to ask a man “Will you marry me?”, she should say

“你願意娶我嗎？” (colloquial)
or
nei5 jyun6 m4 jyun6ji3 tung4 ngo5 git3fan1 aa3
“你愿唔願意同我結婚啊。”(Are you willing to marry me? )
If you would be happy for a week take a wife; if you would be happy for a month kill a pig; but if you would be happy all your life plant a garden (Proverb)

And Monday is the first day after Sunday (lai5bai3)

Leave a commentHow to say: will you marry me in Cantonese （1）
How can a man say “will you marry me?” in Cantonese？
nei5 jyun6ji3 gaa3 bei2 ngo5 maa3
你愿意嫁畀我吗？
nei5 = you
jyun6ji3 = be willing to
gaa3 bei2 = marry to (a man)
ngo5 = me/I/my
So “ngo5 jyun6ji3 gaa3 bei2 nei5″
= (the girl said:) I am willing to marry you.
Some still asked me how to say “how are you?” in Cantonese:
Now that you know how to pronounce “nei5″ “hou2″ “maa3″, you already know how to say it
“nei5 hou2 maa3 你好吗？” = How are you?
How to say “will you marry me” by a girl to man? Let’s learn it next time.
