Me casaré contigo
/me kasaɾe kontiɡo/from spelling rules
The English phrase "I will marry you" is translated into Spanish as Me casaré contigo.
Other ways to express similar sentiments include saying ¡Claro que me caso contigo! to mean "Of course I will marry you!" or using the romantic expression Eres el amor de mi vida y quiero pasar el resto de mis días contigo. which means "You are the love of my life, and I want to spend the rest of my days with you."
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase Me casaré contigo literally translates to "I will marry with you" because the reflexive verb casarse requires the preposition "con" (with).
Which one should you use?
Unlike English, which uses a direct object to say "marry you," Spanish uses a reflexive pronoun me and a prepositional phrase contigo to express this idea.
