Ale się przestraszyteś What does it mean literally in English and also what is it's correct translation? Where I saw it it was translated to 'You got scared' but I thought 'ale' meant 'but'? Please explain, thanks.

seashelg: Ale się przestraszyteś seashelg: 'You got scared' Translation is correct 'You got scared (surprisingly so much)' in this and couple other cases.
