Does "quickly" have the same meaning as "hurry up" ?

Question

Does "quickly" have the same meaning as "hurry up" ?

May I say," It is time for lunch. Let's go. Quickly" ?
P.S. I have heard lots of people (not native speakders) saying this...
They use quickly instead of hurry up.....

If possible,plz offer some example.

Thanks guy.
Can you list some example? what kind of situation you would use hurry up ?
And what kind of situation you would use quickly?

By the way, I know quickly can be used as an adverb.

Answer 1

"Quickly" can be used instead of "hurry up," but "hurry up" can not always be used for "quickly" since "quickly" can be an adverb as well as a command.

I think Americans would tend to say "hurry up," while non-native speakers seem to favor "quickly." I can't recall what a Brit or Aussie would say.

Answer 2

depends on how you use it in a sentence...*wink*

Let's go quickly means you wish to move faster. Quickly is used as an adverb

Let's go. Quickly! Quickly! Quickly is used as a phrase form of hurry up.

It is true that many english as a second language persons and some even first language speakers, use the term interchangeably. But they do imply the same meaning, so it is not that far off the mark.

The people from other countries more than likely have a word in their language that means the same thing as hurry up and is hard to translate properly as it means to just move faster like quickly as an adverb.

All in all, I wouldn't worry about it, you know what they are trying to convey, right?

Answer 3

hurry up is an idiom
an idiom is a phrase that doesn't have its litteral meaning (are you going "up" anywhere?)

hurry up is also an imperative phrase. You are ordering someone to make haste or to do something quickly

Quickly is an adverb.

Your sentence "Let us go quickly", is actually in the subjunctive mood. It is a more polite way of ordering someone to do something. The imperative would be simply "Go!".

Non native speakers typically use phrases that do not include idioms because idioms are more difficult to learn.
Another example of an idiom is "taking your turn". You are not acutally taking anything, nor are you turning anything. These sorts of expressions are learned last by foreign speakers.

Each phrase has essentially the same meaning, but "Let's go quickly, shall we?" is very polite and possibly TOO polite for casual conversation between friends.

Answer 4

It has the same meaning but is in a different form of language. Quickly is an Adverb; Hurry up is a statement. Quickly doesn't work as they have put it, but we have somehow made it common enough to make it sound correct. An example would be: "Mark rushed out of the door quickly." and "Hurry up; we're going to be late." They can't be interchangeable. e.g. "Quickly; we're going to be late." or "Mark rushed out of the door hurry up." They are not the same.

Answer 5

"quickly" is an adverb and is used to modify a verb:

he ate quickly
they walked quickly
please come quickly!

"to hurry up" or just "to hurry" is used as a verb meaning "to act in haste".

they were late so they hurried up.
Hurry up! You're taking too long.



You cannot use "hurry up" as an adverb (in place of quicker), for example you cannot say: He walked hurried up.
You can, however, say "he walked hurriedly" or "he walked in a hurry".

Hope that helps

Answer 6

quickly is an adverb, must go with the other verb.

"hurry up" is imperative to order
