What is the meaning of "right over here by me"?
I found the following sentence on a TV series. The context of this conversation was a family get-together. And an aunt of two little kids asks them to sit beside her when the this insident happens.
You two, sit right over here by me. You here.
Not to mention, I could understand the meaning of the sentence. However, the grammar used is a bit complex for me. This is mainly attributed to the fact that I cannot understand “right over here by me” completely. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone could let me know whether this is a set-phrase or not. Furthermore, please give me some alternative phrases to express the same meaning if it is possible.
