뜻
To move or act with great speed.
문화적 배경
The 'walking speed' in Tokyo is often cited as one of the fastest in the world. People are constantly {急|い}いでいる to maintain the strict social schedule. In Japanese business, 'ASAP' is often expressed as '{至|し}急' (shikyuu). However, using it too much can be seen as poor planning. Characters often shout '{急|い}げ！' (Isoge!) during action scenes. This is the imperative form and is very masculine and aggressive. When you are in a hurry and need to get past someone, it is polite to say 'Sumimasen' rather than 'Isoide kudasai' (which sounds like you are ordering them).
Use 'Isoide' for requests
If you want someone to hurry, just saying 'Isoide!' is the most natural way among friends.
Avoid 'Isoge!'
Unless you are an anime protagonist or in a life-or-death situation, 'Isoge!' sounds too aggressive.

The 'Isogashii' connection
Remember that 'Isogashii' (busy) and 'Isogu' (hurry) share the same root. If you are busy, you will likely need to hurry!
