"На ком хочет жениться твой брат?"

Translation: Who does your brother want to marry?

There are still a lot of people who use "whom," which, strictly speaking, is the preferred English here.

[Fiachra691900]

Indeed, «who» in this case would be incorrect :')

[ThaCF23]

So, жениться is to marry a woman kinda "to wife yourself", выйти замуж is to marry a man, kinda "go for husband". As for gender-neutral variants there are some, but they are a bit less common: Сыграть свадьбу, basically "to play a wedding"; "Ivan and Мария сыграли свадьбу", "Ivan сыграл свадьбу with Maria". There is пожениться, which means "to get themselves married", "Ivan and Maria поженились." Another one is really formal formal: "сочетаться браком" - "to conjoin _selves with marriage" или "сочетаться узами брака" - "conjoin _selves with bonds of marriage"

I read 'жениться твой брат', which, when translated in order, makes 'to marry your brother' making me think the sentance was 'who wants to marry your brother?' which is not the actual meaning, it's almost the reverse.

Did anybody else get fooled like this?

[GreedyGerman]

Me^^

[apfende]

Me too. The order threw me off.

[MaximGamer1]

Their brother is probably Sergey who wants to marry Anna in Germany

This comment is underrated

[victor.mor18]

Is жениться implying the brother wants to marry a woman? If so, how can we say this without implying any gender (if at all possible)?

[mikeyboypdx]

Whom. Definitely should be "whom", even though substandard English speakers use "who" incorrectly.

[Hugo9191]

Would "Кто хочет жениться твой брат?" work as well?

[ElmiraSh]

No. Your sentence is wrong anyway. "Who wants to marry your brother" would be "Кто хочет жениться НА твоем брате" or "Кто хочет выйти замуж ЗА твоего брата".

[etaaramin]

Whom, not who, in the wnflish translation.

[Morgana139]

Why exactly would it be incorrect to say «На ком твой брат хочет жениться»?

[AndroidKanada]

There might be a reason, or this might just be an omission. It was my first answer also, so I'd like to know. Native speaker?
