328: No matter how angry you get


Subtitles:

Ne kadar kızarsan kız, haklısın.
= No matter how angry you get, you are right.

Vocabulary:

ne [=what; how]

kadar [=amount; degree]

ne kadar [=no matter how; however]

kızarsan [=if you get angry]
(conditional mood-present tense) from kızmak [=to get angry]

kız [=be/get angry]
(imperative mood) [=be/get angry]

haklısın [=you are right; you’ve got a point; fair enough]. The adjective is “haklı” [=right; fair].

Tip:
"kızarsan kız" literally means [=if you get angry, get angry]. It is a phrasal usage, so we can't take its meaning literally, as it's always used with a "Ne"; "Ne kadar"; "Nasıl" etc. before it and has the basic meaning of "no matter...". 
  
Video is from the Turkish Series "Gecenin Kraliçesi"
English Title: "Queen of the Night"
