Completing a task in a short time.
Contexto cultural
Poles value efficiency but are wary of 'fuszera' (low-quality work). If you say you'll do something quickly, it's often good to add that you'll do it well. In Polish offices, 'na wczoraj' (for yesterday) is a common way to express extreme urgency, often paired with 'zrób to szybko'. Younger generations use 'ogarnąć' instead of 'zrobić' to sound more casual and 'cool'. In older generations, 'uwijać się' is preferred over 'zrobić coś szybko' when talking about physical labor like farming or cleaning.
Use 'na szybko' for food
If you are making a quick snack, 'zrobić coś na szybko' sounds much more native than just 'szybko'.
