I can't wait any longer, I want to spend my lifetime with you. Will you Marry me?. This is how you say it.
"Dili nako makahulat pa ug dugay, Kay sa tibuok kong kinabuhi gusto ko na mag uban na ta. Unta musugot ka na magminyo na ta."

I can't hold on to this any longer, I don't want to be alone with my entire life. Will you accept to marry me?
" Dili nako magpadugay dugay pa, Dili nako gusto mag inusara sa tibuok kong kinabuhi. Dawaton mo ba kining hangyo ko na magminyo na ta?

I'm hoping you will accept this marriage proposal of mine.This is how you say it.

" Akong gihangyo kanimo na imong dawaton kini akong pagpangasawa kanimo."


Gosh! It's getting complicated right? I'm having difficulty also in translating it since I'm not used of using Visayan language when in terms of love and courtship.
New generations like me, rarely use these lines anymore but it's an A plus if you know how to speak these love words to your lover.
