UTN uW Translation Notes:

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”
