Moving at a high pace.
Contexto cultural
Walking is a primary way people reach 'junctions' to catch buses. Being a 'fast walker' is often associated with being hardworking or 'busy' (thirakkulla oraal). Brisk walking (Vēgattil naṭakkuka) is the most recommended exercise by doctors in Kerala to combat the high rates of diabetes in the state. When walking with elders or teachers, it is considered polite to slow down. Walking fast ahead of them can be seen as a lack of 'maryada' (etiquette). The 'Mass Entry' of a hero in Malayalam films often involves a slow-motion shot that transitions into 'vēgattil naṭakkuka' to show power.
Casual Shortcut
In daily conversation, just say 'Vēgam naṭakkū' instead of 'Vēgattil naṭakkū'. It's faster and more natural.
Don't over-enunciate
The 'tt' in Vēgattil is soft. Don't make it sound like a hard English 'T'.
