مُنتَظِر • (montazer)

waiting (for), expecting
- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume III, verse 3305:
  بامدادان از برای امتحان / ایستاد او منتظر بر آستان
  bâmdâdân az barâ-ye emtehân / istâd u montazer bar âstân
  At daybreak, in order to make trial, he stood waiting on the threshold.

Noun

مُنتَظِر • (montazer) (plural مُنتَظِران (montazerân))

person who is waiting
(more literary)
montazer-e to hastam.
I am waiting for you.
(literally, “I am your awaiter.”)

(more colloquial)
montazer-et-am.
I'm waiting for you.
(literally, “I'm your awaiter.”)
- 2021 May 7, “بیگ داگ؛ سخت‌ترین و عجیب‌ترین مسابقه‌ای که تصور می‌کنید”, in bbc.com/persian‎, BBC Persian:
  شما منتظر پایان نیستید؛ منتظر شروع مسابقه هستید.
  šomâ montazer-e pâyân nistid; montazer-e šoru'-e mosâbeqe hastid.
  You're not waiting for the end; you're waiting for the beginning of the match.

Usage notes

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 (montazer) along with the copula (budan, “to be”), literally "to be someone/something's awaiter", "to be one who awaits for someone/something".
