Can someone please translate the following 2 statements. "Wait for me over there." And
"If you wait for me, I will find you." From English to the Munster dialect please.
I've tried some online translators but they keep coming back with "Fan liom" which is "Stay with me."
not "wait for me."

Thank you!
Alison

Fan is both wait and stay. Fanúint le duine does mean to wait for someone. But you can also say: fan go dtiocfad (wait until I come). Fan go dtiocfad agus gheóbhad tu.

Thank you! It amazes me how different every language is. Esp with the different dialects and slang. I am an English speaker always have been but if I wasn't and I had to learn it... ugh. I have much sympathy for people who take ESL classes (English as a second language).

Thanks Again,
Alison
