What is the most common way french ask the question, 'Will you marry me?'. During my searches, I have found 2 options, but I can't determine which is more common. Any other links with audio samples, or other ways of phrasing this question, would also be very appreciated. 'Veux-tu m'épouser ?' http://french.about.com/library/begin/bl_love.htm 'Tu veux te marier avec moi?' http://www.gmtoday.com/news/local_stories/2005/December_05/12032005_05.asp |

Hello Timothyc, The most common way to say ?Will you marry me? in French is Veux-tu m'épouser ? From the Translators Workplace: Asker Jennifer: English to French translations Will you Marry me? Central France Here is the accepted answer. Veux-tu m'épouser ? This is the most romantic way of asking it, but another one could be : Tu veux te marier avec moi ? You could also say "voulez-vous m'épouser", but I think just very few people (1% ?) would say it. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/260787?bs=1 Click on the red audio icon next to the words ?AUDIO FILE? to listen to both versions. You will hear « Veux-tu m'épouser ? « first and then « Tu veux te marier avec moi « ? http://www.proz.com/kudoz/260787?bs=1#answ_681815 Or use this direct link to listen to both versions http://www.proz.com/inc/item/inc_item_kudoz_audio.php?path=/kudoz_audio/260787_17379_1030587091.wav Also if you do a Google search for "Veux-tu m'épouser?" you will obtain twenty times more hits than for "Tu veux te marier avec moi ? Here are the results. 15,100 results for "Veux-tu m'épouser?" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-18%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22Veux-tu+m%27%C3%A9pouser%3F%22++&btnG=Search 756 results for "Tu veux te marier avec moi ? ://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-18,GGLD:en&q=%22Tu+veux+te+marier+avec+moi+%3F 741 results for "Voulez-vous m'épouser? ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-18%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22Voulez-vous+m%27%C3%A9pouser%3F I hope this helps!

rated this answer:![]() This is exactly the type of information I was hoping for. I wasn't even sure if the 'commonality' of a phrase could be determined on the web. The google hit counts were a really nice touch. Excellent work! |
