뜻
Used to tell someone to do something more quickly.
문화적 배경
In the US, 'Hurry up' is very common due to a culture that highly values efficiency and punctuality. It is often used in 'drive-thru' culture and fast-paced cities like New York. British speakers might use 'Hurry up,' but they often prefer 'Get a move on' or 'Chop chop' in informal settings. They may also use 'Sorry, could we hurry up?' to soften the command. Directly telling someone to 'Hurry up' can be seen as aggressive. In a Japanese work context, people usually show urgency through their own fast actions rather than telling others to speed up. In Italy, time is often seen more flexibly (especially in the south). Telling someone to 'Hurry up' might be met with a shrug and a 'Piano, piano' (Slowly, slowly).
Watch your tone
If you say 'Hurry up!' with a loud, sharp voice, it sounds angry. If you say it with a smile, it sounds like a joke.
Use 'and'
To sound more natural, always follow 'Hurry up' with 'and' + an action, like 'Hurry up and get in the car!'
