准时

The Chinese word 准时 (zhǔnshí) means "on time" or "punctual". It is composed of two characters: 准 (zhǔn), which means "accurate" or "correct", and 时 (shí), which means "time". The word 准时 is often used in everyday conversation to describe someone who is punctual or to ask someone to be on time. For example, you might say 准时到达 (zhǔnshí dàodá) to tell someone to arrive on time, or 你准时吗 (nǐ zhǔnshí ma) to ask someone if they will be on time. The word 准时 can also be used in a more formal setting, such as in a business meeting or a job interview. In these settings, it is important to be 准时 (zhǔnshí) to show that you are respectful of other people's time.
