Bolivian Spanish word
estar pendiente
Meaning: to keep an eye on, to stay attentive
How it is used in Bolivia
A common way to promise ongoing attention without overpromising an action.
For a weather-dependent flight the office asks you to 'estar pendiente', keep your phone on and watch for a message. It's the small habit that makes a cancellation manageable: you confirm the day before, stay reachable, and they tell you the moment plans change.
