Definitions
Zhun is a Singlish (Singapore English) adjective and adverb meaning accurate, precise, or spot-on — used to describe something that is exactly right, perfectly timed, or completely correct. It is borrowed from the Hokkien Chinese dialect, reflecting the significant Hokkien-speaking heritage within Singapore's Chinese community. Zhun is a natural part of everyday Singaporean casual speech and appears across all ages and registers within that context, though it would be unfamiliar outside of Singapore and Malaysian English-speaking communities.
