不要再等了 (bùyào zài děng le) - Don't wait any longer.
Grammar & Usage
How it works
Formed using the prohibitive frame '不要再……了' (bùyào zài... le), which means 'stop doing / don't ... anymore'. '不要' expresses negative command, '再' functions as 'further/any longer' in negative contexts, '等' is the verb 'to wait', and sentence-final '了' marks a change of state. It can be directed at oneself in a group ('let's not wait any longer') or as an imperative to another person.
