waiting
Contre tout attente, Geeta la joue défensive.
Against all odds, Geeta is playing it defensively.
— Dangal (2016)
Il y a une longue attente entre les trains.
There is a long wait between trains.
La longue attente est terminée.
The long wait is over.
Mais après des heures d'attente, on perd son sang-froid.
But after hours of waiting, you lose your temper.
— Femmes au bord de la crise de nerfs (1988)
There are ten years of waiting.
I had no expectations.
