What’s the difference between «what are you waiting for» and «what do you waiting for»?

1 Answer 1

«What do you waiting for?» is ungrammatical; however, «What do you wait for?» is okay.

«What are you waiting for?» is present tense – if someone asks me that question, they are assuming I am waiting for something, and are asking what it is I am waiting for:

What are you waiting for?
I am waiting for the train to come by.

«What do you wait for?» is asking about something that is ongoing:

Every day I see you standing here, as if you’re waiting for something. What do you wait for?
I wait for the train to pass by.

One other thing: «What are you waiting for?» is sometimes used as a rhetorical question, asking essentially the same thing as, «Why are you just standing there?»

Billy, I need you to go out and rake the leaves.
Billy [not moving]: «Okay.»
Well, what are you waiting for?

The phrase «What do you wait for?» would not be used in this context.

Are you waiting on a lightening strike?
Are you waiting for the perfect night?
Are you waiting till the time is right?

Don’t you want to love before you die?

Чего ты ждешь?

Ты ждешь удара молнии?

Ты ждешь идеального вечера?

Ты ждешь подходящего времени?

Разве не хочешь научиться справляться со страхом?

Разве не хочешь взять всё в свои руки?

Почему ты всё ещё ожидаешь чего-то здесь?

Ты должен пойти и достигнуть вершины,

Верь в свою каждую мечту.

Мы живем только раз, так скажи мне,

Знаешь, тебе придется отдать все свои силы,

И не бойся, если потерпишь крах.

Мы живем только раз, так скажи мне,

Ты ищешь подходящую отговорку?

Ты ждешь какого-то знака?

Пока ты ждешь, твоё время истекает,

Так чего ты ждешь?

Разве ты не хочешь расправить крылья и полететь?

Разве не хочешь жить своей жизнью?

Разве не хочешь испытать на себе любовь?

Ты должен пойти и достигнуть вершины,

Верь в свою каждую мечту.

Мы живем только раз, так скажи мне,

Знаешь, тебе придется отдать все свои силы,
