• I'm learning Chinese and have asked quite a few Chinese people about this and this is how you say it: simplified characters: 你愿意嫁给我吗？ pinyin: ni yuanyi jia gei wo ma?

• man asking: 嫁給我好嗎？ woman asking: 你要娶我嗎？ In the Chinese language, it is more comm to use a different word for 'marry' for man marries woman and woman man. For same sex marriage, it is probably more appropriate to use the neutral term 結婚, which is what the above example uses.

• I've actually said it. You can say it like, "嫁给我吧。" In Hanyu Pinyin it's, "Jià gěi wǒ ba." Maybe this way is a little direct, but it's more romantic and personal. The other kind of sound like you're asking the lady if she has any other marital engagements presently. It could maybe be construed as odd, or too formal. Anyway, my fiancée didn't complain. I also like, "你愿意嫁给我吗？" Maybe it I knew this sentence at the time I'd have said that. Anyway, didn't matter, the ring and the gesture did most of the talking for me.

• I've seen the earlier answers... some are correct, while others are quite off-track. The literal translations for everyone's benefit: Will you marry me? 你能跟我结婚吗？(Ni Neng Gen Wo Jie Hun Ma?) Literally means "Can You Marry (or be in a marriage with) Me? Marry me. 嫁给我。(Jia Gei Wo.) Literally is a statement (hence may/may not come with a question mark) that doubles as a question. 吧 (Ba) just accentuates the sentence. Are you willing to marry me? 你愿意嫁给我吗？(Ni Yuan Yi Jia Gei Wo Ma?) For men, marrying a woman in Chinese is to 娶 (Qu) i.e. "Take" a wife. Whereas for a woman, to marry is to 嫁 (Jia) i.e. "To marry" (as in "to Entrust" oneself... hence the 给 (gei) which means to "give" follows after the word). Hence, a man may ask a woman, "你愿意嫁给我吗？" Whereas when a woman asks a man if he's willing to marry her, "你愿意娶我吗？" Are you going to marry me? 你会娶我吗？(Ni Hui Qu Wo Ma?) this can only be used/asked by a woman... usually in a "tricky" situation when the woman needs the assurance. So, although it's similar to "Will you marry me?" (like before she consents to have a deeper "ahem" relationship with a guy), it's really not a proposal question. Marry me/ Be in a marriage with me. Literally in Chinese means “跟我结婚” (Gen Wo Jie Hun) is a textbook way of saying marriage. 跟 "Gen" is to follow/ with. 我 "Wo" means "me". 结婚 "Jie Hun" is marriage.

• You are correct, will you marry me in Chinese is 你能 跟我结婚吗.
  Here is an example:
  你是如此美丽，离不开你。我想你在我生命的一生。你能 跟我结婚吗？

• Hi i just came across your samples for translating will you marry me into Chinese and thought i could offer one of my own:
  "Will you marry me? Will you marry me is the biggest question a girl can answer."
  "你能 跟我结婚吗？您可以看到你嫁给我失败都通过互联网的视频。".
