What does me quede mean in this sentence?

This is the sentence, "si tu quieres despues que yo visite tu pais me quede yo lo hare", when I translate this it tells me that after he leaves my country, he will stay and of coarse this doesn't make sense, so can someone please help me understand it? Thank you so much

I think the sentence has poor grammar, but it means "If you want, after I visit your country, for me to stay, I will do it."

Just a guess .......

but maybe this is what it should be.

If you want after I visit your country I will stay - I will do it.

Si quieres después de visitar su país me quedaré - lo haré.

"si tu quieres despues que yo visite tu pais me quede yo lo hare"

If you want that I stay after I visit your country, I will do it.

It's really not bad grammar that I can see, other than a lack of proper accents. Me quede is the present subjunctive of quedarse, which is the correct use here.

Yeah I never was very good at grammar. But I know what that sentence means. :p - Goyo, May 9, 2011
Yeah, well if perfect grammar were required to be understood, no one would ever understand me :) - lorenzo9, May 9, 2011
