不一会儿 is a Chinese idiom that means "in a short while" or "before long". It is composed of three characters: 不 (bù), 一 (yī), and 会儿 (huìr).The character 不 (bù) is a negative particle that means "not" or "no". The character 一 (yī) is a number that means "one". The character 会儿 (huìr) is a measure word that means "a while" or "a moment".When these three characters are combined, they form the idiom 不一会儿, which means "in a short while" or "before long". This idiom is often used to describe something that will happen soon or that is about to happen. For example, you could say 不一会儿，我就到了 (bù yīhuìr, wǒ jiù dào le), which means "I'll be there in a short while".The idiom 不一会儿 is a useful expression that can be used in a variety of situations. It is a good idea to learn this idiom if you are studying Chinese.
