Haste is what quality? Quick - is it bad or good? In this article, we will consider what “agile” is and how to use this word.
Value
Quick - it's fast, agile and nimble. By meaning, the word is the opposite of "slow." The closest synonyms (except for the above) are smart and agile. Less close, brisk and enterprising, point to the traits that a quick person often possesses. This is the one that will do everything not only quickly, but also efficiently, “grab it on the fly” and understand what’s going on, without further ado, immediately getting down to business.
Slowness is far from illusions, but without creativity it is nothing. The qualities that a quick person usually have are practicality and concreteness. Such people have business acumen, the ability to find profit in everything.
Score value
The word "quick" has a few more synonyms. Among them - cunning, cunning and sneaky. All three have a dubious moral assessment. The trick can be used for good, but more often the stealth action is aimed at evil. And sneakiness is completely associated with "rat" qualities.
The difference between them and quickness is that the latter can and should be consonant with conscience and morality.
Using
The word is often applied not to a qualified master, but to a fast-learning beginner. Quick - this is praise for the assistant, the servant or, for example, the waiter. Less often - a characteristic for a skilled person.
This definition is rarely used. It is not yet included in the category of obsolete ones, but is already on the way to this. There are many people who do not include it in their active vocabulary, and even more who don’t even know what is efficient. And very in vain!
Slowness is not a borrowed, unique characteristic that none of the above synonyms can replace. Use it more often to preserve the beauty of Russian speech!
