Significado
A short period of time.
Contexto cultural
The {儿|r} suffix is very common here and adds a friendly, local flavor. People often drop the {儿|r} and just say {一会|yīhuì}. Using {一会儿|yīhuìr} with superiors can be seen as too casual; use {稍后|shāohòu} instead. It is a polite way to end a conversation without being abrupt.
The 'r' sound
Don't over-pronounce the 'r'. It should be a light, natural curl of the tongue.
Be vague
Chinese speakers love the flexibility of {一会儿|yīhuìr}. Don't feel pressured to give a specific time!
