Do you want to get married next year? in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

내년에 결혼하고 싶어요?
Breakdown:
• 내년 (nae-nyeon) – “next year”
  내년 is a shortened form of “다음 해” and means next year.
• 에 (e) – a time/location marker
  Attached to 내년, it indicates “in” or “at” next year, forming 내년에 (“in next year”).
• 결혼 (gyeol-hon) – “marriage”
  This noun means marriage or the act of getting married.
• 하다 (ha-da) – “to do”
  When 결혼하다 is used, it means “to marry” or “to get married.”
  In this sentence, the verb stem 하 is used.
• 고 (go) – a connecting ending
  This ending links the verb stem 결혼하 with the following verb 싶다.
  It’s similar to “and” in formulating “to want to marry.”
• 싶어요 (sip-eo-yo) – “want” (polite form)
  From 싶다 meaning “to want,” it attaches to the previous verb stem to express desire.

Literal Translation: “Next year, do [you] want to marry?”

Tips to Remember:
• When expressing a desire such as “want to do,” attach 싶어요 (or its casual/formal variations) directly to the verb stem (dropping 다).
• Use 고 after the verb stem (결혼하) before 싶어요 to combine the action “to marry” with the desire “to want.”
• To indicate time, add the particle -에 to the time noun (내년 → 내년에).

Alternate Ways to Ask “Do you want to get married next year?”:
• 내년에 결혼할래요? (nae-nyeon-e gyeol-hon-hal-lae-yo?)
  A casual, yet polite form using the future/intentional ending -할래요.
• 내년에 결혼하고 싶으세요? (nae-nyeon-e gyeol-hon-ha-go sip-eu-se-yo?)
  A more honorific/polite version addressing the listener formally.
• 내년에 결혼할 생각이에요? (nae-nyeon-e gyeol-hon-hal saeng-gak-i-e-yo?)
  Literally “Are you thinking about getting married next year?” which implies the same meaning.
