  • Hi, everyone.

  • Thanks for clicking on Marika on today's lesson.

  • We are going to look at some expressions to ask someone to wait.

  • Now.

  • When do you do that?

  • You know, at times we're busy with something on.

  • We are unable to attend a person at that very moment.

  • So you end up asking that person to wait.

  • So do you end up saying wait or be patient?

  • No, you don't do that now, in English, we do have some phrases to ask someone to wait.

  • So that's what we are gonna learn today.

  • So let's get started.

  • The very first phrase that we have for you is hanging on a moment are Hold on.

  • Now, both of these expressions are informal expressions, but then this sound pretty polite, So it's okay to use in a formal situation as well.

  • So if someone calls you and you're busy, so you ask him to wait by saying, Hang on a moment or hold on All right.

  • You can do that over the phone and as well as in person.

  • So if you are able to get back in couple of seconds, or in few minutes or in a shop period then use the phrase that hang on a moment or hold on.

  • All right, let's have a look at second Frasier, I'll be right with you.

  • Now, this expression is just perfect.

  • If you belong to a customer service industry, for example.

  • Ahh customer is here to wait.

  • Is here to meet you.

  • And you want him to wait?

  • Maybe you're doing something on.

  • You'll be only able to attend this person in few minutes.

  • So you're not gonna again say, be patient or wait?

  • No.

  • You're gonna say I'll be right with you.

  • So this is a very polite expression, and it's just perfect if you are into customer service.

  • All right.

  • So you just want to get done with the work that you're doing and attend this customer on immediate basis, So use the phrase I'll be right with you.

  • And also make sure to use the right tone.

  • You cannot say I'll be right with you.

  • Now, that's wrong.

  • You're gonna say I'll be right with you.

  • You're gonna be nice and polite.

  • Another one is bear with me.

  • Now again, this expression can be used over the telephone and as well as in person.

  • Now, bear with me is probably, ah, perfect expression to be used when you are really busy.

  • And it's taking long for you to get back.

  • Okay, So it's not a shot period that you asking that person to wait, Hang on a moment or hold on.

  • It's perfect if you are going to get back to that person in just a shot, period.

  • But when you say bear with me, it means that you are gonna take a little longer.

  • So you're gonna take a longer time.

  • So you would say bear with me.

  • So the actual meaning on the literal meaning off this phrase is like, be patient.

  • Like I said, you cannot end up telling someone or asking someone to be patient.

  • A better phrase to use is bear with me.

  • Okay, so it actually means to be patient.

  • All right, let's have a look at another one.

  • Let me see.

  • Okay.

  • Now, when do you use this phrase?

  • Let me see.

  • Someone comes up to you and asks you a question.

  • And when you end up saying, uh, let me see, it means that you're buying time to think.

  • So you know, directly asking that person to wait okay, but you're actually buying time to pink.

  • So, for example, a person comes to you and asks you that.

  • Hey, do you have any messages for me and probably Yes.

  • You have some messages for this person.

  • I thought you just can't remember.

  • So you say Let me see.

  • And then you go tell him that.

  • Yes, there are a couple of messages for you.

  • So let me see is or can be used when you are buying time to think.

  • All right.

  • And make sure that when you use this expression within a couple of seconds or within a couple of minutes, you end up saying what you have to.

  • Okay?

  • You can just take forever.

  • It has to be done quick.

  • Another expression that I have for you is all in good time.

  • Now what do you use this expression?

  • Now, when you want enough time to do something, okay?

  • Or finish your work or to finish up with something, like for example, your daughter comes in and say's Hey, Mom's Tar Ming.

  • Is the dinner ready yet?

  • Mom say's all in good time.

  • So all in good time.

  • It means that you know you needle enough time to cook something really nice for your daughter.

  • Okay, So that's how you would use this expression or another example.

  • Your boss gives you a project to work on, and he say's, Well, when are you gonna finish this?

  • So you would end up saying all in good time.

  • So this means that you need enough time to do a good job on this project.

  • So you're buying enough time from that person to do something better, right?

  • So go ahead and use this expression as invent required.

  • All right, so these are a couple of expressions that would help you to ask someone to wait.

  • Now, when the person is done waiting, what do you say?

  • Well, here are some expressions.

  • The 1st 1 I apologize for the delay.

  • So maybe you were in a meeting and someone else was waiting outside for you.

  • Yes.

  • Maybe your secretary said he'll be right with you, but it took a little longer for you to attend that person.

  • So you are gonna apologize.

  • And how do you do that?

  • You're gonna say I apologize for the delay, right?

  • Another one.

  • Thank you so much for waiting.

  • Now, Here.

  • You appreciate that person's time.

  • That person waited for you till the time you've finished your work.

  • So you're gonna tank him to do so?

  • The expression that you will end up using is thank you so much for waiting.

  • And then the last expression that I have for you is again apologizing.

  • So how do you do that?

  • Sorry to keep you waiting again.

  • This expression can be used when that person has been waiting for you for a really long time.

  • So either you can say thank you so much for waiting.

  • It means that you appreciate his time, and then you can say by apologizing, Sorry to keep you waiting.

  • All right, So please do that.

  • This really shows your manners.

  • So it's not just that you're asking that person to wait, but when that person really waits, appreciate the time.

  • So these are the expressions that you can end up using in your daily situations.

  • So let's just quickly revise them.

  • When you want someone to wait, you're gonna say, Hang on a moment or hold on or you can say I'll be right with you or you can see bear with me.

  • Another one.

  • Let me see and then the last one is all in good time.

  • Their case of these other expressions when you want someone to wait and then the other three expressions are tanking and apologizing because that person really waited for you.

  • So I apologize for the delay.

  • Thank you so much for waiting.

  • And then the last one that I have for you is sorry to keep you waiting.

  • All right.

  • So hope these expressions air really helpful to you.

  • And I'll be back with a new lesson till then, you take care.
