Hi !
1. Will you marry me ? - Vrei sã te mãriti cu mine ?

• vrei - [ei] is pronounced as in 'say'
• sã - [s] as in 'say' and [ã] as in 'away'
• te - [e] should be pronounced as in 'red'
• mãriti -[ã] is similar to the pronunciation of 'murmur',but [r] should be pronounced as in Spanish, and the following group [iti] as [itsy], but the final sound is unstressed
• cu - [ku:] [u] as in [too], but not that long !
• mine - [mi:ne] e should be pronounced as in Spanish

2. yes - da [da:] as in [bazaar]
3. no - nu [nu:]

Best wishes,
Framboise

I'd like to point out that you could only use "măriţi" when addressing a woman. If it's a woman proposing to a man the sentence would sound hilarious.
The universal word is "căsătoreşti" used both to propose to a woman as well as to a man.

Good luck!

oui c'est vrai, mais moi en tant que français j'aurais pensé que les deux pouvaient se dire:

voulez-vous m'épouser = căsătoreşti (le plus utilisé en france)
voulez-vous vous marier avec moi = măriţi
voulez-vous être ma femme = vreţi sa fii sotia mea (idem)

Also, "măriţi" is considered, how should I put this... less than elegant
As a Romanian native I can tell the best is "căsătoreşti" or, anarvorig's last variant: Vrei să fii soţia mea? (In Romanian you don't say "Vreţi să fii" but "Vrei...") even if in French it's "-Vous".

anarvorig

de acord, cu dumneavoastra ! Florin.
cu pritenie
