המתן

existing translation

השהה

improved translation

Explanation

While 'המתן' is understandable, 'השהה' (hash'heh) - meaning 'to suspend' - is a more precise translation of 'await' in the context of async/await. It better reflects the non-blocking suspension of execution. It's also a common verb in technical contexts.

Issue breakdown

specificity While 'המתן' covers waiting, it doesn't fully capture the *suspension* aspect of 'await' in async/await. It feels more like a blocking wait.
