Wait, Stay and Live

Fuirich

The verb fuirich means 'stay' or 'wait', and just as in Scottish English, 'Where are you staying?', 'Where do you stay?', we use this in Gaelic to say where we are 'living': Càit a bheil thu a' fuireach?   

We saw the the conditional tense used earlier, and here you can see it in full: 

Càit am fuiricheadh tu?
Where would you stay?
Dh'fhuirichinn ann an …
I would stay in …
Chan fhuirichinn thall thairis idir.
I wouldn't stay abroad at all.
Fuirich! | a' fuireach
Stay! | staying
