뜻
States one needs to go quickly.
문화적 배경
In Paris, being 'pressé' is a way of life. If you aren't walking fast in the metro, you might get some annoyed looks. It's not necessarily rudeness, just the pace of the city. In Quebec, you might hear 'Je suis pressé' but also 'Je suis mal pris' if you are in a rush because of a problem. The accent will be different, but the meaning remains. Punctuality is vital in Switzerland. Being 'pressé' is often a result of trying to be exactly on time, as being even one minute late is frowned upon. Time can be more flexible. While 'Je suis pressé' is understood, social obligations often take precedence over strict schedules.
Agreement is key
Always remember to add an 'e' if you are a woman writing this phrase.
Don't use 'avoir'
This is the #1 mistake. Stick with 'être'.
