Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'casarte' have 'te' at the end?

The 'te' is the reflexive pronoun for 'tú' (you, informal). It tells you that the person doing the action (you) is also receiving the action (getting married). When a verb is in its base form (infinitive), we attach the pronoun to the end.

If I want to ask someone formally, 'Do you want to marry me?', what do I say?

You would use the formal pronoun 'se' instead of 'te'. You would say: '¿Quiere casarse conmigo?'
