意味
Waiting for public transport.
文化的背景
The 'OV-chipkaart' is essential. If you are waiting for the bus, make sure you have it ready, or you'll delay everyone else. In Flanders, people might use 'de bus pakken' more frequently, but 'wachten op de bus' remains the standard for waiting. Students often travel for free with their 'studenten-OV'. Waiting for the bus is a major part of student life. Expats often find the 'Buienradar' app indispensable while waiting for the bus to avoid getting soaked.
Use 'staan'
Dutch people often use 'staan' (to stand) to describe waiting. 'Ik sta op de bus te wachten' sounds very native.
Word Order
Don't forget to put 'wachten' at the very end when using 'moet'!
