What does "僕の分も君が振ってくれ。" mean?


The title is self explanatory. I don't seem to understand this sentence as a
whole. Can somebody please explain this word by word for me? Also what form is
"振ってくれ" in? "振る" in this context means "to wave at someone".

Edit: I've just found out that the "くれ" at the and of the verb is basically
the same as "下さい", it's just more casual. Now I only have problem with "僕の分".




I know this question is a bit old, but since I came across this as a prominent
Google hit when searching for help on the same thing, I figured I'd post a
more complete answer for anybody else who comes along..

For context, the line in question appears to be from the "よつばと!" ("Yotsuba&!")
manga, in the first volume, page 8 (3rd panel). Yotsuba and her father are
driving in the car, and the full exchange is:

> **よつば:** おねーちゃんが手ぇふった！とーちゃんもふれ！
>
> **とーちゃん:** とーちゃん手がはなせないからな俺の分もよつばがふってくれ

The portion in question at the end breaks down to:

  * 俺 ("I"/"me") + の (posessive particle) + 分 ("part") ==> "my part"
  * も (particle) ==> "also"
  * よつば ("Yotsuba" (name)) + が (identifier/subject particle) ==> "you" (subject)
  * ふって (te-form of 振る: "to wave") + くれ (idiomatic form of 呉れる: "to do for someone") ==> "wave for me"

As you noted, くれ is related to 下さい; however, they are not really the same.
ください is a special conjugation of くださる, which itself is the honorific form of
くれる. くれ is a special idiomatic form of the (non-honorific) くれる, so the basic
action (to do something for someone) is the same, but the politeness
implications are very different. くれ is a (fairly masculine and informal)
direct command, as opposed to a polite (honorific) request.

For more information on くれ and friends, you can read through [Tae Kim's
excellent page on making
requests](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/requests)

As a side-note, I had originally read "とーちゃん手がはなせないからな" as "Daddy's hands
can't speak right now" (which seemed a little poetic/idiomatic, but actually
could make some sense when taking about waving to people, so I didn't think
too much about it), but @Mauro pointed out that the verb "がはなせない" (はなす) there
is probably not 話す (to say / to speak) but is actually 放す (to release / to let
go) instead, which would make it more like "Daddy's hands can't let go (of the
wheel) right now", which does make a bit more sense in context.

So in summary, the translation of the full exchange comes out to something
like:

> **Yotsuba:** The lady waved! Daddy, you wave too!
>
> **Father:** Daddy's hands can't let go right now. You do my part of the
> waving too.
