What does me casara mean in this sentence?

Question

Hola, I am having problems understanding this sentence..."si no fuera porque quiero vivir contigo me casara aqui con un par de anillos", when I read this I am understanding "if it weren't because I want to live with you, I would get married here with a pair of rings" but when I translate this I get "if I did not want to live with you, marry me here with a pair of rings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hola, carefree! It appears to me that you understand the sentence very well! When I read the sentence I understand it the same way: "If it weren't because I want to live with you, I would get married here with a pair of rings."

maybe someone else will come along and verify/suggest something else.

Answer 2

I think there is a misspelling here. Casara would need to be spelled casaría to be would. Then your understanding would be correct.

But without more context, it is still a strange sentence in that the first phrase seems to contradict the second.

that's true. casaría would make more sense...or maybe casará in the future tense...I'm not sure that makes sense either tho - riverphoenix1970, Nov 5, 2011
