+
+The **`await`** keyword suspends the execution of an asynchronous function until the awaited [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#id2), task, or awaitable object completes. It allows asynchronous code to look and behave like synchronous code.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```pseudo
+await expression
+```
+
+> **Note:** The `await` keyword can only be used inside an `async` function. Using it outside an async function will raise a `SyntaxError`.
+
+## Example 1
+
+This example pauses execution while waiting for simulated data to be fetched:
+
+```py
+import asyncio
+
+async def fetch_data():
+  print("Fetching data...")
+  await asyncio.sleep(1)
+  print("Data received!")
+  return {"data": 42}
+
+async def main():
+  result = await fetch_data()
+  print("Result:", result)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+Here is the output:
+
+```shell
+Fetching data...
+Data received!
+Result: {'data': 42}
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- `async` defines an asynchronous function that can contain `await`.
+- `asyncio` provides tools for running asynchronous code, such as event loops, coroutines, and tasks.
+
+## Example 2
+
+This example waits for one second before returning and printing a message:
+
+```py
+import asyncio
+
+async def greet():
+  await asyncio.sleep(1)
+  return "Hello from await!"
+
+async def main():
+  message = await greet()
+  print(message)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+The output of this code is:
+
+```shell
+Hello from await!
+```
