⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true friend. But in Italian 'proporre' is used more broadly and frequently than English 'propose'. You might say 'propongo di andare al cinema' (I suggest going to the cinema) — in English you'd use 'suggest' more naturally. 'Fare una proposta' = to make a proposal.
To say "to put forward a plan or suggestion; to propose marriage" in Italian:
proporre (correct)
"proporre" in English means:
to propose, to suggest, to offer
Example
"Ti propongo uno scambio."
"I'm proposing an exchange / I suggest a trade."
