/Sounds like "CHEEN" (as in "cheek")/
Meaning
A tiny bit or small amount in the Dominican Republic. The island's go-to word when you want just a little of something, said with that easygoing Caribbean softness. Think of it as the Dominican version of "just a smidge" or "a little bit."

“Give me just a little rice, I'm not that hungry.”
“Wait just a moment, I'll be right back.”
