vite

quickly

adverb veet Common
Descriptions & Qualities Manner

fast

Usage Note

Vite means quickly and powers the urgent Vite, vite a parent calls to a dawdling child. It describes the speed of an action rather than a thing, so a fast car is rapide while you drive it vite — and learners who mix the two get gently corrected.

Examples

"Viens vite !"

Natural Translation

Come quickly!
