How it's used

This adverb functions as a polite but firm way to request speed without sounding overly aggressive. While it is standard in both written and spoken contexts, speakers often add 啲 after the verb it modifies to emphasize the urgency. It is more common in professional or formal requests than in casual conversation among close friends.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 即刻, which implies doing something right this second. Using 儘快 suggests a deadline or a priority, whereas 即刻 implies an immediate action without delay.
