"we are still waiting for your reply" vs "we are still awaiting for your reply"

Both phrases are similar in meaning, but the correct one is 'we are still waiting for your reply.' 'Awaiting' is not commonly used in this context, and 'waiting' is the more appropriate term to use.

Last Updated: March 08, 2024

we are still waiting for your reply

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use this phrase to indicate that you are still expecting a reply from someone.

we are still awaiting for your reply

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

When using the word 'awaiting' the preposition 'for' is not used. It is better to say either:

  1. We are still waiting for your reply.
  2. We still await your reply.
