How to Say ‘I'll wait for your message.’ in Simplified Chinese

我等你消息。

wǒ děng nǐ xiāo xī

[waw dung nee shyow shee]

💬 Usage Tip: [等你消息] is a fixed, very natural way to say "wait to hear from you." Chinese often uses [等 + person + 消息] rather than spelling out exactly what kind of reply it is.

🇨🇳 In China: This is polite and common in business follow-up, but it also gently puts the next move on the other person. It sounds professional without being pushy.
