Hi everyone!
Is there a diffrence between "wait & wait for"?
Examples:
I'm waiting you.
I'm waiting for you.
Thank you very much!

Used as a verb, wait is generally intransitive--it does not take a direct object. Your first sentence (without for) is not correct. The second one ("I'm waiting for you") is both correct and natural.

There is an idiom in American English, "to wait tables" (meaning to work as a waiter in a restaurant) where "wait" appears to be used transitively, but that is a totally different use.

Thanks Pete very much!

Hello,
A small addition - Wait your turn. It's a set expression.

Regards. :)

Sorry, what do you mean Lucretia by "a set expression"?

[Lucretia]

It's a fixed expression, a particular phrase.

Thank you Lucretia
