FundéuRAE: “wait and see”, alternativas

The Fundación del Español Urgente (FundéuRAE) issued a recommendation on October 6 regarding the use of the English expression "wait and see" in Spanish-language communications. The organization, which is promoted by the Agencia EFE and the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), advises that the phrase—used to describe a cautious approach or a decision to delay action until further developments occur—should be replaced by established Spanish alternatives.

To maintain linguistic precision, FundéuRAE suggests utilizing native expressions such as "compás de espera" to convey the same meaning. This guidance is part of the foundation's ongoing mission to provide recommendations for the proper use of the Spanish language in media and professional settings.
