	'''Machi''' {{kana\|待ち}} is the Japanese term for "~~[[tenpai]]~~ wait patterns". Given any mahjong hand at any instance, players are waiting for specific tiles either to develop their hands or complete it. Wait patterns arise during hand development, when mahjong tiles in possession in the hand are in need of other tiles in order to complete '''[[mentsu]]''' (tile groups) or the entire hand. Wait patterns during tenpai are of particular interest, ~~simply because that is one of the main goals of hand development~~.		'''Machi''' {{kana\|待ち}} is the Japanese term for "wait patterns". Given any mahjong hand at any instance, players are waiting for specific tiles either to develop their hands or complete it. Wait patterns arise during hand development, when mahjong tiles in possession in the hand are in need of other tiles in order to complete '''[[mentsu]]''' (tile groups) or the entire hand. Wait patterns during [[tenpai]] are of particular interest. Players in tenpai must know their waiting tiles, or else end up missing a winning tile.

	Five patterns here are classed as "basic wait patterns". These five patterns occur frequently; and they are not dependent on other patterns for formation. A combination of any of these five, including themselves, can form more complicated patterns.		Five patterns here are classed as "basic wait patterns".
