    Interchangeable, without any difference.

    Wait on It seems that only Americans say it, and I rarely hear people from other countries say it. For me, I hear it too much, and it becomes a dialect.

    Hello, the difference between wait about and wait for is the difference between about and for.

    1) Wait about: about is an adverb, and when about is used together as an adverb and a verb to form a verb phrase, it can be translated as [(indicating moving in a certain area) everywhere, everywhere; Four down]; It can also be translated as "probably, approximately". So wait about usually means (doing nothing and so on; null, etc.);

    what are you waiting about?(What are you doing here?) [It can usually be judged by its long waiting time, walking back and forth in the area, or lazily walking back and forth.] 】

    2) wait for: for is a preposition, followed by a noun, to play (prepositional structure), while the preposition for has (especially for ......), so wait for usually means (for ......And wait).

    what are you waiting for?(What are you waiting for here?) [Usually there is a purposeful waiting, which can be judged by the form of its steps, expressions, anxious back and forth, etc.] 】
