WAIT in other words
Let Me Think: use it to give yourself extra time to think or consider something
Example: Let me think about that and I’ll give you a reply tomorrow.
Just A Moment/Second/Minute: Moment, second and minute interchangeable. They’re not really a period of time. It could often be much longer. For example, five minutes later you’re still waiting. It has no reference to the particular time, we just use it as an expression to get somebody to wait.
Example: Just a moment. I am on thephone.
Bear With Me: ask someone to wait and be patient
Examples: Please bear with me for five minutes while I finish this email. Bear with us while we try to fix these technical issues.
Something Or Somebody Will Have To Wait: use it when you have no time to do something or no time to deal with somebody
Example: The report is just going to have to wait; I’m not going to be able to complete it by today.
Just Wait Until/Till: You can use either till or until there. Use this to ask someone to be patient for a moment
Examples: Please just wait until I get a chance to discuss this with you. Just wait until I get a chance to read the proposal. I’m very busy, please wait until I have time to read the form carefully.
