Usage notes

[edit]
  • As seen in the example and quotation above, the English verb "to wait for; to await" is frequently conveyed in Persian by a possessed form of مُنتَظِر (montazer) along with the copula بودَن (budan, to be), literally "to be someone/something's awaiter", "to be one who awaits for someone/something".
