Mistake[edit]

"Quickly" is not an adjective. 71.66.97.228 17:08, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fixed, though I have reservations about the verb sense. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 08:14, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rfv-sense: The verb form of the word; "to hasten, to speed up, to go more quickly"

I'm familiar with what this term means but I've never heard nor seen it used in this way, on gbooks or elsewhere. I'm a bit confused about whether to best classify this as adjective or adverb but that's a discussion for another time. Note the two alternative definitions: "nhanh lên" lên is an intensifier equivalent to "up" in hurry up and coincidentally this phrase can also be used as an interjection such as "Quickly!", "Faster!", "Hurry up!", etc; "đi nhanh" means to "go quickly", đi by itself means to go and nhanh is an adverb.

  • RFV failed: no attesting quotations provided for the questioned sense. Vietnamese entry. Unfortunately, we probably do not have many Vietnamese editors around to try the attestation. When I paste "nhanh" to Google translate, it autodetects Vietnamese and provides translations as an adjective and an adverb, so this makes the deletion plausible beyond the absence of evidence. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:56, 20 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
