How to Say “I Want to Marry You” in Punjabi

ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ
main tere naal viah karvauna chahaunda haan
The English phrase "I want to marry you" is expressed in Punjabi as ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ (main tere naal viah karvauna chahaunda haan).
This phrase is a direct expression used by a person to state their desire to enter into a marriage with someone they love.

Which one should you use?

Using ਤੇਰੇ (tere) is intimate or informal, while using ਤੁਹਾਡੇ (tuhade) is more polite and respectful. Additionally, the gender of the speaker changes the verb ending.

How does it change in a sentence?

The verb at the end of the sentence changes based on the gender of the person speaking. The default form ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ is used by a male speaker. A female speaker must change the ending from chahaunda to chahundi, resulting in ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਆਹ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ.

How do you pronounce it?

main tere naal viah karvauna chahaunda haan

Did you know?

  • While this phrase is a direct proposal, in many Punjabi cultures, marriage is traditionally negotiated between families rather than just two individuals.
  • The word ਮੈਂ (main) meaning 'I' is a distant relative of the English word 'I', as both trace back to the Proto-Indo-European root *éǵh₂.
  • In Punjabi culture, the phrase is often accompanied by the tradition of 'Roka', a ceremony that officially announces the commitment to marry.
