อยู่มานาน mean lived for a long time, stay for a long time อยู่ = live,stay มา = come นาน = long time มานาน in this case, it's telling that you do something for a long period of time. ex. I live here for a long time. I stay here for a long time. I'm in the same position for a long time but don't get a promotion. รอ/มานาน = wait for a long time หา/มานาน = find for a long time ทำงาน/มานาน = work for a long time ------------------------------------------ Note: If you add "ตั้ง" like มาตั้งนาน it's make the sentence more "bold", use with friends. When your friends is late and you wait them for an 2 hours and you get a bit upset. So when them come you say "ฉันรอพวกเธอมาตั้งนาน" = I've waited you guys for so long.

Hi Emily, I'm learning Thai myself, I'm not a native. I looked it up in the dictionary: อยู่: to be in a certain location, to be located at มานาน: for a very long time To get the correct meaning you should ask a native speaker, though. Hope this helped.
