English term or phrase: "Will you marry me?" "Yes!"
I posted the same question for ITA>HEB Pros, but I have seen there are only 3 matches for this pair. Maybe I'll be luckier with the ENG>HEB pair.

Hebrew translation:hainas'ee lee? Ken! -התנשאי לי? כן!
Explanation:
Sorry about the punctuation marks - they should be on the left of the sentences in Hebrew, not on the right. That's because Hebrew is written from right to left, but it's not possible to put them there here on the Proz site. In any case:
התנשאי - hatinas'ee - will you marry, spoken to a female (for a male it would be hatinas'eh)
lee - me, literally "to me" because that's how it is in Hebrew.
Ken - כן - yes.

There are other possibilities, such as
ha\'im tinas\'ee lee
and
ha\'im titkhatnee iti
