How do you say “How long have you been married?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
How long have you been married?
結婚してどれくらい？
kekkonshite dorekurai
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
結婚してどれくらいですか？
kekkonshite dorekuraidesuka
- How long ＝ どれくらい dorekurai
- have you been married ＝ あなたは結婚して anatawa kekkonshite
We do not usually say “あなたは anatawa (= you)” in everyday conversation.
あなたは 結婚して
have you been married
＋
どれくらい
how long
