English term or phrase: What kind of person do you want to marry?
essentially its formal language. answers in romanji would work best
Grant
donna hito to kekkon sitai desu ka
Explanation:
"Nozomu" means to desire, which I think is too vague an expression. "Kekkon suru" means to marry, which I think is more appropriate.

(Anata ha) donoyouna kata wo onozomi desuka ?


Explanation:
Answer depend on context. But this kind of phrase might say in a roudabout I think.
Moreover, other expression in " donoyouna kata tono gokekkonn wo onozomideshouka?"
This phrase is roundabout too.
I wish your help.

donoyouna taipu no hito to kekkon shitaidesuka?


Explanation:
In this sentence, "taipu" is "type" in Ebglish. In Japanse, this word is treated as katakan Japanese, and I think this is the best traslation for "kind of" in the original sentence.
