Bedeutung
Instructing someone to increase their speed.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In big cities like Istanbul, 'Hızlı git' is often shouted between drivers. It reflects a high-stress, fast-paced driving environment. While 'Hızlı git' is common in transit, in a Turkish home, you would never be told to 'go fast'. Guests are expected to stay as long as possible. Turks use the word 'Acele' (hurry) frequently. 'Hızlı git' is the action, but 'Acele et' is the state of mind. The proverb 'Yavaş giden uzağa gider' (He who goes slowly goes far) is the cultural antithesis to 'Hızlı git'.
The 'Lütfen' Rule
Always add 'lütfen' (please) if you are using 'Hızlı git' with someone you don't know well, even in the informal form.
Avoid Rudeness
Using 'Hızlı git' with an elder is considered very disrespectful. Use 'Hızlı gidin' instead.
