Hangman Game Feedback

Title:	wait a moment...
Answer:	hang on

Hints:	1. This means 'Wait!' It can also mean: 'Don't go yet' or 'hold tightly' 2. Don't fall! 3. Don't let go!

Equivalents:	1. hold on 2. wait a minute... 3. just a second

Explanation:	If someone is hanging on, they could be hanging from something. Another way to say this is that they are suspended in mid-air. I guess you could be suspended in time as well, or be 'in suspense' which also means waiting or anticipation. So there are connections in meaning!

Hi, Kaylin,
In German you would "stop at" instead of holding...
Halte mal... is also good.
Hang on to a great day!

Instead of "hang on", in German we say "Halt mal an.... - German (Stop a moment)"
