attendere

to attend
to be present at an event
⚠️ The trap
'Attendere' means to wait, not to attend. 'Attendo il treno' = 'I am waiting for the train'. To attend a meeting say 'partecipare alla riunione' or 'presenziare alla riunione'.
To say "to be present at an event" in Italian:
partecipare a, essere presente a (for to attend an event)
"attendere" in English means:
to wait for, to await
Example
"Attendo la tua risposta con impazienza."
"I am waiting for your reply eagerly."
