How it's used
While often used in formal contexts like business or technology, it is frequently applied to daily tasks when someone needs to pick up the pace. It carries a sense of urgency and implies that the current speed is insufficient to meet a deadline or goal. Unlike simply saying 快啲, this word emphasizes the process of increasing momentum.
Examples
Walk faster, we need to speed up to catch the bus.
