Can I use the verb 'TO WAIT ON' as 'atender'? For example: The secretary waited on me as soon as I arrived.
I've checked that TO WAIT ON is to serve someone in a restaurant. But I was wondering, how can I say atender? As in: A secretária me atendeu assim que cheguei. Can I use WAIT ON in this case?
Thanks |
