Signification
A polite request for someone to act quickly.
Contexte culturel
In North India, 'जल्दी कीजिए' is very common in urban centers like Delhi. It is often used in public transport contexts. In the IT and corporate sectors, English is often mixed with Hindi. You might hear 'Jaldi kijiye, we are late.' In more traditional settings, people might use more elaborate polite forms, but 'जल्दी कीजिए' remains universally understood.
Tone Matters
Saying 'जल्दी कीजिए' with a smile is polite; saying it with a frown is a command.
Use 'Kripya'
Adding 'Kripya' (Please) at the start makes it even more polite.
