Persian

Etymology

From Arabic مُنْتَظِر‎ (muntaẓir).

Pronunciation

(Classical Persian) IPA^(key): /muntaˈziɾ/

(Dari Persian) IPA^(key): /mʊntaˈzɪɾ/

(Iranian Persian) IPA^(key): /montæˈzeɾ/

(Tajik) IPA^(key): /muntaˈziɾ/

Adjective

Iranian Persian	منتظر
Dari	منتظر
Tajik	мунтазир (muntazir)

مُنتَظِر • (montazer)

waiting (for), expecting
- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, Reynold A. Nicholson, transl., 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".
