Common ways to say "wait" in English:
🔅 "Wait": This is the simplest and most direct way to say "wait", but it can sound rude or impatient if not used politely. You can add "please" or "a moment" to make it more courteous. For example: "Please wait here, and we'll seat you shortly."
🔅 "Hold on" or "Hang on": These are phrasal verbs that mean to wait for a short time. They are very common in spoken English, especially on the phone. You can add "a second", "a minute", "a moment" or "for a while" to indicate how long you want someone to wait. For example: "Hold on a second, I need to check something."
🔅 "Just a few more minutes": This means that you need a little more time to finish something before you can attend to the person waiting. For example: "Just a few more minutes, I'm almost done with this report."
🔅 "Just a second" : This means that you need a very short time to do something before you can attend to the person waiting. It is often used casually and informally. For example: "Just a second, I need to answer this phone call."
🔅 "I'll be right with you" : This means that you will attend to the person waiting as soon as possible. It is usually polite and reassuring. For example: "I'll be right with you, I just need to help this customer first."
