definition

x₁ awaits for x₂ (event) with bated breath; x₁ waits for the occurrence of x₂ excitedly/impatiently/restlessly; colloquially: x₁ just cannot wait for x₂ to happen; x₁ is eager for event x₂.

notes

The colloquial definition is figurative: the waiting must and will be performed, but x₁ wants x₂ to happen as soon as possible/to just come already- for time to flow faster. This is how a child feels on Christmas Eve night for Christmas Day. This word has a positive connotation; the negative version (via "to'e") is essentially "dread" or "to be/feel anxious for/about". There should be a sense of longing (but future-oriented), intensity, and/or aching for what x₁ vaguely expects to happen (independent of what actually does end up happening). See also: fizbu (which lacks the sense of waiting), denpa (which lacks the sense of excitement and which has too many terbri). Proposed rafsi: "-fiz-".
