329: Understand me!


Subtitles:

Ama ne olur anla beni. Kartal lütfen anla beni.
= But please understand me. Kartal please understand me.

Beni anla, ne olur. Lütfen!
= Understand me, I beg you. Please!

Sağol, çok sağol.
= Thank you, thanks loads.

Vocabulary:

ama [=but]

ne olur [=please; I beg you]

Tip:
In speech, this expression is reduced to “n'olur”, and has the same meaning of “lütfen” but with a healthy dose of pleading [=I beg you].

anla [=understand]
(imperative) from anlamak= to understand

beni [=me]

lütfen [=please]

çok [=very; a lot; so]

sağol [=thanks].

Tip:
"Sağol" [lit. =Health to you]. This is the informal way of saying "teşekkürler" or "teşekkür ederim". The root word "sağ" means "healthy; alive" + ol [=imperative from olmak= be], so it is equivalent to saying "stay healthy; be healthy".
  
Video is from the Turkish Series "Gecenin Kraliçesi"
English Title: "Queen of the Night"
