Italian word

attendere

to wait for, to await

Looks like

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."
