Scoobyqueen Posted October 14, 2008 at 09:50 AM Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 at 09:50 AM I have jotted down this character 瞬 in my notes as meaning wink. The www.dict.cn is not very helpful for that meaning. I guess it must occur as a single character but can anyone give an example of a common use? I have forgotten the context in which I saw it in and without a context it seems pointless having it in my flashcards (for now). Any help would be appreciated.

chenpv Posted October 14, 2008 at 10:20 AM Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 at 10:20 AM It means 'to blink', which can be used in '一瞬间', that is, 'in a blink'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
