"Aspetta qualcuno?"

Translation: Is he waiting for someone?

[il_filippo]

I actually got it as formal you

[rseyferth]

Could this also mean "is someone waiting / someone waits"?

[dnovinc]

I think it would be a different word order in that case: Qualcuno aspetta?

[marziotta]

"C'è qualcuno che aspetta?" would be the most natural way to say this.

But "Aspetta qualcuno?" and "Qualcuno aspetta?" could both mean it. COULD. But they wouldn't be used often.

[tango-alpha]

I answered, "are you waiting for someone" (thinking it was aspetatte) and it was accepted. Can someone tell me why that is also correct?

[FusilliGamberi]

Aspetta (3rd person singular) is used with lui, lei, and Lei (formal you).

[Xy_Of]

Is he waiting on someone? I think that would also be correct

[malcolmissimo]

To wait on normally means to serve, as in a restaurant. Maybe some people use it your way, but that doesn't make it correct.

[ferrimed]

I am sorry, but the fas audio clearly says: "aspetta a qualcuno" I wrote it, and guess what! I got it wrong.

[marziotta]

Aspetta a qualcuno is dialectal. I would be surprised it was correct. :)

The last A of aspetta is a bit too long than necessary, but really a little bit, I wouldn't say it sounds like "Aspetta a". Here I cannot listen the slow version, where maybe the issue is more evident.

[DaniloFVA]

Anyone is the same as anybody and thus it should be a correct answer as well

[travel.linguist]

Why is do you await someone false?

[Dave.Agudelo]

it is also possible to write: do you wait for anyone, anyone and anybody are synonyms..

[Giovanni666]

"Is he awaiting someone?" albeit a tad olde worlde should have been accepted but wasn't.

[Catherine381932]

Why not"expecting" instead of waiting?

[tdbacker]

The formal 'are you waiting for someone?' is used so very often, which actually makes it the only useful answer

[Marilyn228435]

this could be masculine or feminine, so why is it marked wrong...
