This phrase is a combination of several Korean words. '시간이' (shigan-i) means 'time' (시간 - shigan) followed by the subject marker '-이' (-i). '순식간에' (sunsikgan-e) means 'in an instant' or 'in a flash.' This is derived from '순식간' (sunsikgan), which is a Sino-Korean word meaning 'an instant' or 'a very short time.' '순(瞬)' means 'a blink' or 'to wink,' and '식(息)' means 'a breath' or 'to breathe.' So literally, '순식간' refers to the time it takes to blink and take a breath, hence 'an instant.' The '-에' (-e) is a locative particle indicating 'at' or 'in.' '지나다' (jinada) means 'to pass' or 'to go by.' Therefore, the phrase literally translates to 'time passes in an instant,' effectively conveying the meaning of time moving extremely quickly.
