I think "highly anticipated" is what I've been looking for. Not an actual phrase, but I guess it's how I've always seen it.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongAwaitedSynonym/zwdmb/post.htm#457996Sat, 23 May 2009 11:13:11 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:457996Philip1http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongAwaitedSynonym/zwdmb/post.htm#457996http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-457996.xmlLoui1410 wrote: Hello guys, I'm somewhat sure that there's a more commonly used synonym for "long-awaited" but I can't remember what it is. If we want to say, for instance, that a long-awaited video game has been finally released, what would be the most appropriate word to use here? I think there is anticipated or expected, but those do not emphasise the fact that the thing in question has been anticipated for a long time. I think there is another word, but I can't remember what it is. I might be wrong, after all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Louie. Right off the top of my head, nothing comes to me but 'long-awaited' or anticipated.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongAwaitedSynonym/zwdmb/post.htmFri, 23 Jan 2009 12:13:11 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:457981Loui14102http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongAwaitedSynonym/zwdmb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-457981.xmlHello guys, I'm somewhat sure that there's a more commonly used synonym for "long-awaited" but I can't remember what it is.
