EN: there (it is); yonder
The long-distance relationship version of "ayan." You use "ayun" to point at something far away, like your dreams, your ex, or that one jeepney you were supposed to catch. It's often followed by a pointed lip-pout, the universal Filipino laser pointer. "Ayun o!" ("There it is!").
Contraction of 'hayun'.
Part of the 'ito/iyan/iyon' and 'dito/diyan/doon' series. 'Ayun' is the colloquial equivalent of 'iyon'. It points to something far from both the speaker and the listener.
