Na engleskom jeziku od velikog značaja je razlikovati jeste li FAST (brzi) ili QUICK (brzi)...
Fast food ili quick food – koji je vaš izbor?

Fast and quick both mean moving with great speed. However, the difference is significant.

Quick
Fast refers to things that happen or go at high speed, e.g. a train, a person running; quick in movement.
Pridjev fast se odnosi na stvari koje se događaju brzo ili se netko ili nešto kreće velikom brzinom, primjerice, vlak, osoba koja trči i slično.
We use quick to refer to something happening in a short period of time, or a shorter than expected time.
Prilog quick koristimo kada želimo reći da se nešto dogodilo u kratkom vremenskom razdoblju ili prije od očekivanog.

Curiosity: Why fast food and not quick food?
While fast food refers to food with no nutritious value, quick food indicates something completely different. It is also food that is prepared in a short period of time but it may (and it usually does) contain more nutritious value.
Dok se izraz fast food odnosi na hranu koja ne sadrži nutritivne vrijednosti, izraz quick food znači nešto sasvim drugo. To je također hrana koja se pripremi u kratkom vremenskom razdoblju, ali obično se odnosi na sastojke koji sadrže veću nutritivnu vrijednost.
