Proposal in Mandarin Chinese 我們結婚吧 wǒ men jié hūn ba (Let's get married)

Let's learn how to say "Let's get married" or "Please marry me" in Mandarin Chinese!!!

jià qǔ
嫁 娶
Today let's learn two characters 嫁(Jia)and 娶(Qu)
Both of them means "marry" in Mandarin Chinese

Let's watch a video first...
This is a chip from Taiwan Drama "小資女孩向前衝(Office Girls)"
Video info: Three Choices 三個選擇 ﹣a chip from Taiwan Drama "小資女孩向前衝(Office Girls)" 

In this chip, the man makes a proposal 求婚.
He says "you have three choices... "  to his girl friend.

These choices are...
1. I marry you 我娶妳 wǒ qǔ nǐ
2. you marry me 妳嫁給我 nǐ jià gěi wǒ
3. let's get married 我們結婚吧 wǒ men jié hūn ba

In Mandarin Chinese, "marry" is 嫁 or 娶...
Both 嫁 and 娶 mean "marry" in Mandarin Chinese
The difference between 嫁 and 娶 is...

嫁 = marry (a woman marry a man; the subject is the woman; if the subject is female, use "Jia")
娶 = marry (a man marry a woman; the subject is the man; if the subject is male, use "Qu")
