The Vietnamese word "chùn" is a verb that generally means "to recoil," "to shrink," or "to flinch." It is often used in contexts where someone hesitates or pulls back due to fear, difficulty, or discomfort.
In more complex sentences, "chùn" can express a reaction to difficult situations, often highlighting resilience or determination against challenges.
"Chùn" can be used in different forms or combined with other words to create phrases: - Không chùn bước: This phrase means "not to shrink (flinch) from difficulties." It emphasizes bravery or determination. - Example: "Chúng ta không chùn bước trước thử thách." (We do not flinch in the face of challenges.)
Some synonyms for "chùn" include: - Rút lui: To withdraw or retreat, often used in a more physical sense. - Ngần ngại: To hesitate, usually because of uncertainty or fear. - Lùi bước: To step back or retreat (both physically or metaphorically).
While "chùn" primarily conveys the idea of pulling back or flinching, in some contexts it may also imply a sense of caution or carefulness rather than outright fear. However, the core meaning remains related to hesitation or a retreating response to something daunting.
