The Latin equivalent of the English observation 'Opinio juris becomes jus cogens' is Opinio juris fit ius cogens. The all-English equivalent is The opinion of the court becomes the binding law. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'opinio' means 'opinion'. The noun 'juris' means 'of the court'. The verb 'fit' means '[he/she/it] becomes, does become, is becoming'. The noun 'ius' means 'law'. The participle 'cogens' means 'binding'.

Why every time you ask your girlfriend a question it turns in to a argument?

Because something is wrong in the relationship. If she is the one who becomes angry, ask her why she doesn't like your question. Did she think you meant something hostile? If you are the one who becomes annoyed by her answers, ask her this simple question: "What did you mean when you said that?" She might not have meant what you thought. But if one of you just wants to keep on and on arguing, that could be a sign that you are wrong for each other.
