Definition
没准 (méi zhǔn) is commonly used as an adverb meaning 'maybe' or as a stative verb meaning 'to be not sure / uncertain'. In spoken Chinese, it often appears before a verb or clause: 没准他会来 'Maybe he'll come'. As a verb, it can be used like 我没准他来不来 'I'm not sure if he's coming'. The POS in the source data is marked as verb, which fits the stative-verb usage but not the adverb usage. Note that the pinyin for the full word is 'méi zhǔn', not just 'méi' as in the source.
