If you are going to see how fast someone is doing something, how do you say, 'I will time her'? Has it anything to do with 'am'?

What would that be outside Munster? Tá mé le do chuid ama a mheas. :?:


What about Measfaidh mé a cuid ama. :?:

And I see they have invented a new word amaigh at focal.ie as well. :rolleyes:

Measfaidh mé a cuid ama- Makes sense

Tomhaisfidh seems good too

Munster people say tomhais too... wonder why tomhas is the standard spelling?.... What do they say in Ulster?... lughaidh, Redwolf?
