Say "I can't wait" in Korean
Hi!
I would like to know how to say " I can't wait " in Korean ?
For example if I want to say to someone : "I can't wait to meet you "
or "I can't wait to hear your voice tonight"
Thank you.

"I can't wait to ~" = "나는 어서 빨리 ~하고 싶어."
"I can't wait to meet you "
= "난 어서 널 만나기를 바라고 있어."(written)
= "나는 어서 빨리 너를 만나고 싶어."(Written)
= "어서 만났으면 좋겠다~~" (Spoken)
"I can't wait to hear your voice tonight" = "나는 (어서 빨리) 오늘 밤 너의 목소리를 듣고 싶어." (written, spoken)

Don't translate it literally. If you'd say, "기다릴 수 없어요", it would sound like a decline, like "I don't want to wait for you." That's the opposite of what you want to express.
So how can you say it?
다시 만나기를 기대해요. - I'm looking forward to meet again!
연락을 기대해요. - I'm waiting for your phone call.
보고 싶어요. - I miss you. (very common among young couples)
그리워요. - I miss you. (very emotional.)
