Translating 「こんなばかな私をどうして愛してくれるの？」

Question

Someone I know PM'd me this and I honestly don't know what it means.

こんなばかな私をどうして愛してくれるの？

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is roughly:

Konna baka na watashi o doushite ai shite kureru no?

And for the individual words I've got

• Konna - this is
• Baka - stupid
• Watashi o - I
• Ai - Love

But from that, I don't know how it transforms into an actual sentence or at least its meaning. Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

Q. Can someone translate and explain this to me?
「こんなばかな私をどうして愛してくれるの？」

A. First I'll break it down and then give what may be an explanation for the sentence.

• こんな - this kind of
• ばかな - idiot, stupid
  • こんなばかな - this kind of stupid
• 私 - me
  • こんなばかな私 - this kind of stupid person (literally "me")
• を - particle that marks the object of the sentence
• どうして - why
• 愛して - gerund form of 愛する (to love)
• くれる - to give; to let one have; to do for one; to be given
  • 愛してくれる - (give) love (to) me, i.e., love me
• の - particle の used at the end of a sentence when one is seeking for an explanation for something

Thus, the sentence holds the following meaning:

こんなばかな私をどうして愛してくれるの？
Why do you love this kind of stupid person? (referring to themself)
or more loosely translated: How can you love a person as stupid as me?

The author of the sentence may be seeking confirmation of the recipient's love, but that's just a conjecture. The author could be seeking a range of different reactions with this. Only the author (and possibly the recipient, and those familiar with the situation) would know this based on the context and their relationship.
