パーティーに何か持って行きましょうか。

My translation – “Do you want to hold/wait on going to the party?”

Is this translation correct basically? I wasn’t sure if ‘to hold’ could be
used in the same sense as ‘to wait’ in Japanese as is the case in English as
when I look up 持つ in my dictionary it doesn’t give a possible meaning of ‘to
wait’.

question
translation meaning verbs
Can you use 持つ to mean 'to wait'?
No, [持]{も}つ cannot mean 'to wait', your translation is incorrect. Are you
confusing it with [待]{ま}つ?

> パーティーに何か[持]{も}って行きましょうか。  
>  "Shall we go ahead and bring something along to the party?"
