What does ยืน mean?

The basic verb for standing upright on your feet. Thai speakers use this for physical standing (waiting in line, standing up from a chair) and metaphorical contexts (standing firm on decisions). Often combined with อยู่ (yùu) to emphasize the ongoing state of standing, especially when describing someone's current position.
