Ich bin gespannt.

/ɪç bɪn ɡəˈʃpant/

I'm curious / excited to see.

Literal translation

I am tensioned/stretched.

When to use it

There's no clean English equivalent. Use it when you're eagerly waiting to see how something turns out — exam results, a movie ending, a date.

In conversation

—Ich bin gespannt, was sie dazu sagt.

—I'm curious to see what she says about it.
