When someone asks us to "keep waiting," we often feel frustrated and impatient. However, using different words with similar meanings can help us avoid sounding dismissive or unresponsive. Instead of asking someone to "keep waiting," try saying "please hold on," "please wait a moment," "I'll be right with you," or "let me check and get back to you." These phrases show that you value the person's time and are actively working to address their needs. By using more considerate language when asking someone to wait, we can build stronger relationships, reduce tension, and demonstrate professionalism in our communication.
