"Waiting for the reply."

Translation: À espera da resposta.

Is that the correct translation?, it seems more like 'to wait for the reply'
I thought it would be something like 'esperando por a resposta'

[Paulenrique]

Yeah, this could work: "esperando pela resposta" (pela = por+a)

[msbraz]

Thanks, I always forget about pela

esperar pela resposta?

[Nyanerthal]

What is the à here?

[HarryHalle2]

It's part of the expression "à espero" ("waiting")--that is, it doesn't translate literally... although "at/to the wait" does kind of almost make sense in English.

Is this right "A espera pela resposta"?

[Danmoller]

The verb "esperar" takes "por" or nothing:

• Esperando pela/a resposta (present participle)
• A esperar pela/a resposta (a + infinitive = present participle equivalent)

The noun "(a) espera", in the expression "à espera" takes "de":

• À espera da resposta

[Paulenrique]

The right is "à espera da resposta".
