Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
αὐτῇ, ὅτι ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς, δώσω σοι, ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου
˱to˲_her ¬that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ ὅτι ὃ ἐάν αἰτήσῃς με δώσω σοι ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου)
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “her that if she asked him, he would give it to her, up to half of his kingdom”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
αἰτήσῃς & σοι
˱you˲_/may/_ask & ˱to˲_you
Because Herod is speaking to the girl, the word you is singular throughout this verse.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου
up_to half ˱of˲_the kingdom ˱of˲_me
Herod says up to half of my kingdom here as an overstatement for emphasis. He means that he will definitely give the young woman what she asks for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that Herod is making an overstatement, or you could express the idea more generally. Alternate translation: “even if it were up to half of my kingdom” or “no matter how valuable” or “even if it is very difficult to give”
6:14-29 The account of John the Baptist’s death, sandwiched between the sending out and the return of the disciples, continues the theme of Jesus’ authority and power (see 6:7, 14). John’s fate and the warning given to the disciples in their missionary charge (6:11) also foreshadowed Jesus’ death. The one greater even than John (1:8) would soon be handed over to religious and political leaders and put to death (8:31; 9:31; 10:33).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
