![]() Hey guys!
In the ultimate gesture of trust, I need somebody to tell me how to say " I would like to ask permission for your daughter's hand in marriage." in Italian. Since I am asking my gf's dad, I need the actually words, and not something like "I want you to fly a kite." If that happens, you might hear of a body discovered in Barrington IL. ![]() |

Don't ask me how to pronounce that. Ask Babelfish.

Did you get that off a internet translator. It looks very suspicious to me. Italian has to have a word for daughter, and I doubt there possesive is the the same as our "apostrophe s".

dola- may want to say "nel matromonio" instead of nell'unione, so I'd say:
Vorrei per chiedere il permesso per la sua mano della figlia nel matrimonio I took 2 years of italian (taught in the florentine dialect), so that is what I'd say. |

Hmm, I never had to use that particular phrase while living in Italy. However, these were quite useful:
"Non I rompere mi coglioni!" and "Sono molto arrupato. Voglio un pompino, subito!" However, use either of these in front of the in-laws to be, and you'll end up like Sonny Corleone.

Vorrei avere il permesso di chiedere la mano di vostra figlia (litterally)
maybe better: vorrei avere il permesso di chiedere a vostra figlia di sposarmi Other notable mention to be corrected in this thread: Non mi rompere i coglioni!! Sono molo arrapato, voglio un pompino subito (you almost got it right!) Ciao |

Cazzo! Well, it was close enough that most Italians understood what I was saying! The one phrase in Italian that never made any sense to me was: "Non far sapere al contadino quant'è buona la pera col pecorino." Roughly translated, it means "Don't let the farmer know how good cheese and pears are together." And a side note, pecorino is cheese from sheep, and pecorina is something else entirely!

Funny you should mention that. My gf is fluenent in Spanish also, and this movie was on a Spanish speaking channel. I found it right around that scene and I gave the gf a call. Luckily, it scene was translated to "Itailans are related to black people" Good for me, since I may not be typing these words otherwise. |

Why don't you tell him you're interested in learning Italian? And then after asking him how to say a few words/phrases, ask him how to say "I would like to ask permission for your daughter's hand in marriage."

Not quite. You have to insert "and her wedding day" after "daughter's wedding". Lenny Montana did screw up the line (because he was very nervous in front of Brando) but since it came off as real, they kept it in instead of a re-take. |

Bumpy after going away from more than 5 years... Quick update - My wife and I will be celebrating 9 years of wedded bliss in late October. Y'all wanted updates so I thought I would stop by and fulfill my promise.
