Pro Tip
Natural Urgency
In Japanese, adding ください (kudasai) to 急いで来て makes it a polite request. Without it, the phrase sounds more abrupt or urgent. Example: 急いで来てください (Please come quickly) vs. 急いで来て (Come quickly!).
Gold Rule
Imperative Form
When using 急いで来る in imperative form (e.g., 急いで来て), it is typically directed at someone physically close or in a familiar relationship. For strangers or superiors, use 急いで来てください.
Word Origin
Composed of 急ぐ (isogu, 'to hurry') and 来る (kuru, 'to come'). The phrase combines the verb of motion with an adverbial modifier indicating speed.
