How it's used
While 快速 is understood in Cantonese, it often carries a slightly formal or technical tone compared to common spoken alternatives. In everyday speech, native speakers frequently prefer using 快 or 快啲 to describe speed. Using 快速 often implies a more systematic or mechanical process rather than just a casual action.
Examples
He processed the document very quickly.

Common mistake
Learners often use 快速 as an adverb directly before a verb, but in natural Cantonese, it is more common to add 咁 to bridge the adverb to the verb, as in 快速咁做.
