Translation

しばらく / 少しの間 / しばし

Meaning

Awhile is an adverb meaning for a short time. The learner trap is that awhile already contains the idea of for, so for awhile is usually corrected to for a while or simply awhile.

Examples

• ここで少し休みましょう。
  Let's rest here awhile.
• しばらくの間、彼女から連絡がなかった。
  I did not hear from her for a while.
