Selenite, I don't think you should get married just cause you are bored... XDHow do you say/write "I like video games", "I'm bored" and "I want to get married"?

"I like video games" = テ]
I'm not sure on "I'm bored" yet.. all I know is that つまらない [tsumaranai] is boring but that's not quite the same thing.
As for "I want to get married", it's けっこんしたいです。 [kekkonshitai desu]
I can explain how to make verbs into wanting statements if you like but I'll leave it at that for now. =P

Alright then.. well, among all the different verb forms, the place you'll most often start when creating other ones is the "dictionary form". I'd use the same verb I gave you but "to get married" is an irregular verb and explaining all that might be too much at once. x.x; I'll use たべる [taberu], "to eat" as an example 'cause it's pretty straightforward. xD
In order to explain wanting though, a quick thing about conjugating them into polite present form: (dictionary form is used in casual speech)
To turn taberu into polite present, you just drop the -ru and add -masu, so it becomes tabemasu. (Sorry if you already knew all this x_x;; I felt I had to mention it though because there's another kind of verb that works slightly differently.)
Then to change your statement into wanting to eat, you get rid of -masu and change it to -tai desu, so it'll then become tabetai desu.
I hope everything's clear/it wasn't too long, but if you're still wondering about anything feel free to ask!

[color="Plum"]So how would you say "I want to get married" in a more polite form?[/color]

Well, kekkonshitai desu pretty much is the polite form. =P
There is another one that's even more super polite but I don't know it yet and you probably wouldn't need it; it's the equivalent of addressing people with "sir" or "ma'am" in English.
