I have just started learning Japanese, so if it's possible, please explain fully and clearly with the knowledge that I am a complete beginner in regards to Japanese grammar and vocabulary.

At this point, all I know is the hiragana, katakana, and various kanji (I know Mandarin). However, Japanese grammar is so different compared to English and Mandarin.

I would greatly appreciate an explanation of the Japanese text:

それで？ いつになれば俺のお嫁さんになってくれる？

This was a dialogue in a game (I believe), however I don't know the overall context of this text.　The text was a bit blurry, so I'm not sure if it was ば　or ぱ* it is ば.

Please correct my attempt at translation. To my understanding, in English it is something like:

And so?　When to become my bride...　do for me/let me have?

（And the "I" is a male?） I believe he is talking to a female.

Is it about a man asking a woman to be his bride? Or something similar? I'm very confused.

  • あーん？いつ俺の嫁になる？ is a more rude, manly version.

    Maybe you should try something more suitable for a beginner than this.
