'''Machi''' is the Japanese term for "waits".  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]]'' (melds) or the entire hand.  Wait patterns during [[tenpai]] are of particular interest, simply because that is one of the main goals of hand development.
