YOU SAID:
I peer at my peers in hopes that they peer back
INTO JAPANESE
私は彼らが戻って覗くことを期待して私の仲間と覗く
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I peek with my mates in the hope that they will come back
INTO JAPANESE
私は彼らが戻ってくることを期待して私の仲間とのぞき見
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I peek with my mates in the hope that they will come back
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
