Hi,
I can speak english, but I don't know the difference between those terms:

hasty
quick
speedy
rapid
fast

are those the same way to say the same thing or there is some difference?
As I just lost hastyhost.com to someone else (it was free)... just becose it's not used very often.

Thank You english gurus :)

Hey,

quick, speedy, rapid and fast are kinda similar.

However, hasty, i would say is to describe something or someone "eagar", i suppose, some people could think of it as quick.

Kind of both really.

Hasty is the odd one out, to do something hastily means to do something you dont really want to do.

no it doesnt...Hitch's answer was nearer

Definitions of hastily on the Web:
hurriedly: in a hurried or hasty manner; "the way they buried him so hurriedly was disgraceful"; "hastily, he scanned the headlines"; "sold in haste and at a sacrifice"

the above quote basically tells you what happens when you do something hastily, so doing something with haste or to be hasty means doing it huridley

"hasty" does have to do with speedy, but it strongly suggests something being done quickly without care. Sloppy. Quick without thought or planning. Quick without regard for the outcome.

For example,

On a race, someone sets off just before the gun goes off...

They was too eagar, hasty? ;)
