AFK is an abbreviation for the phrase "Away From Keyboard", which translates from English as "Away from keyboard". This term is used in virtual communication, especially in online games and chats.
AFK indicates that the user is temporarily absent or unavailable for communication. This may mean that the person has left their computer, tablet, or smartphone unattended, or that they are not active at the moment. When players in video games or participants in online chats plan to step away for a while, they may inform others that they will be AFK. This helps avoid misunderstandings when interlocutors try to reach them and do not receive a response.
Before a person becomes AFK, they may write BRB. This means that the player has warned that they will step away and will return soon. While they are absent - they are AFK.
In general, the expression AFK is used when a person leaves the computer or cannot receive messages for a certain period of time and wants to inform others about their absence.
