Talking about future plans with someone you know? You can ask: 結婚したい？けっこんしたい？ kekkon shitai? = “Do you want to get married?” This is about whether someone wants marriage in the future—not a marriage proposal. A simple answer: うん、したい。 un, shitai. “Yeah, I do.” Want to say “someday”? うん、いつかは。 un, itsuka wa. “Yeah, someday.” This says you’re open to marriage without giving a specific timeline. And if you don’t want it right now: 今はまだ。いまはまだ。 ima wa mada. = “Not right now.” = “Not yet.” The nice thing about まだ here is that it leaves open the possibility that your answer could change later. So: うん、したい。 → Yes, I want to. うん、いつかは。 → Yeah, someday. 今はまだ。 → Not right now / Not yet. Three short answers, three different shades of meaning.
