ちょっと待ってくださいって英語でなんて言うの？

The first way, "Please wait a minute," is the most polite way to ask them to wait for a short period of time. The second two options, "Can you please wait?" and "Could you wait a second?" both are requesting that the other person wait; however, when using these be careful of your tone of voice. When saying either of the last two options, it can be perceived that you are irritated.

All of the above phrases are ways to ask people to be patient with you for some moments or minutes. A 'sec' is a shortened version of the word 'second'. We use it to demonstrate that we are currently busy but will be free very soon. You could also use 'min' (minute); 'Please hang on a min!' These are quite casual statements. 'I'll be right with you!' shows that you recognize that the person is trying to get your attention, and that you will be available to them when you finish the thing you are currently busy with.

You can use these phrases to ask your coworker informally to wait a second. -Just a second. -I'll just be a second. -Can you hang on a second.

Asking to be excused for a short amount of time is polite and socially acceptable.

"Bear with me a moment" is a brilliant professional phrase which tells the person to wait for a short while, usually when you have to do something for them but not always. "Bear with me a moment while I just look up that file." "Just a sec!" is a more informal phrase which also tells the person to wait a little while. For example: "Are you coming for lunch?" - "Just a sec! I've just got to send this email." 'Sec' is a diminutive of 'second'.

Minute' and 'moment' are words we can use to ask someone to wait. When we say 'wait a second', 'wait a minute' or 'wait a moment', we are not literally asking them to wait for that amount of time. It is a casual way of explaining that we need/want them to wait for us and should not be too long.

All of these should suit your problem very well. I think it is important to understand that in American English usage "a minute" is not literally one minute. It simply means a short period of time. The same is true for "just a second". It does not literally mean one second. It is also common to hear this shortened to "just a sec". So in all three of these answers the person asking the question is asking the other person to wait a short amount of time.

Hang on is used to ask someone to wait but it is important to know this is normally only used between friends and coworkers, it can sound rude to say to a customer. Please wait a moment is more polite and can be used with friends but also to customers or maybe your manager too.

You want to ask a coworker to wait just a little. Any of the above requests is adequate for that kind of situation.

"Could you wait a second?" is a common question asked among people and it is basically asking the person kindly to just wait quickly while the other person does something or fetches something. It is asking if the person could just be patient while the other person is busy or trying to finish something up.
