Sino-Vietnamese word from 准 (“quasi-”) and 都督 (“admiral”). In Chinese, Japanese and Korean, 准 (zhǔn), meaning "quasi-" or "almost", is typically reserved for 准將 (zhǔnjiàng, “brigadier (general); (air) commodore”, literally “quasi-general officer”) and 准尉 (zhǔnwèi, “warrant officer”, literally “quasi-junior officer”), which is an additional fourth or fifth rank just below 少將 /少将 (shàojiàng, “major general; rear admiral; air mashal”) or 少尉 (shàowèi, “first lieutenant; lieutenant junior grade; flying officer”). 准 (zhǔn) is thus outside the typical prefix scheme which includes 大 (highest), 上 ((second) highest), 中 (middle) and 少 (lowest). For the rank of "rear admiral", the prefix 少 would be more suitable (compare the army and air counterpart, thiếu tướng (“major general; air vice-marshal”)), but given Vietnamese's comparatively unorthodox and peculiar terminology, it is not used for this naval rank.

I have not heard of anyone else who likes to learn (as Yan Hui did)."
