Will you marry me? in Russian: How to say?
There are a few ways to say Will you marry me? in Russian. Here, we will try to cover all of them.
In Russian, to say to get married, we use the word же́ниться for men and вы́йти за́муж for women:
– жени́ться
to get married (for women)
– вы́йти за́муж
to get married (for a woman)
So if you are a guy and you want to propose to a woman, you can say:
– Выходи́ за меня́ за́муж!
Marry me!
Or:
– Ты вы́йдешь за меня́ за́муж?
Will you marry me?
If you are a girl and you want to propose to a guy (things happen these days), you can say:
– Жени́сь на мне!
Marry me! (sounds a bit aggressive, but it all depends on your relationships)
– Ты на мне же́нишься?
Will you marry me?
– Ты возьмёшь меня́ за́муж?
Will you marry me?
When talking about both sexes at the same time, you should use the verb жени́ться (imperfective) / пожени́ться (perfective):
– Дава́й поже́нимся!
