speed in movement or action
The fact that something is done or moves fast.
Mẫu sử dụng:
the quickness of [something] / [someone]'s quickness in [doing something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes say *"the fastness of the train"* instead of *"the quickness of the train"* or *"the speed of the train"*. "Fastness" in modern English usually means firmness or security, not speed. Also, learners may use "quick" where a noun is needed, for example *"the quick of the work"* instead of *"the quickness of the work"*.
Từ đồng nghĩa
speed (More common and general; used for almost any fast movement or action, while "quickness" highlights the quality as a characteristic.)
|
rapidity (More formal and less common in everyday speech, but close in meaning to "quickness".)
Từ trái nghĩa
slowness (Direct opposite, emphasizing that something happens or moves at a low speed.)

speed of thought or understanding
The fact that someone understands or thinks fast.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[someone]'s quickness of mind / quickness at [understanding/learning something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may confuse "quickness of mind" with "quick mind". Both are correct, but "quickness of mind" is a noun phrase focusing on the quality, while "quick mind" is an adjective + noun. Also, learners sometimes use *"fast thinking"* in formal writing where "mental quickness" or "quickness of thought" is more natural.
Từ đồng nghĩa
sharpness (Highlights being mentally alert and quick to notice or understand; similar but can also suggest cleverness or critical ability.)
|
mental agility (Often used in more formal or descriptive contexts, stressing flexible and fast thinking.)
Từ trái nghĩa
slowness (Here, refers specifically to slow thinking or understanding, not just physical speed.)
|
dullness (Suggests a lack of mental sharpness or alertness, the opposite of quick mental responses.)

readiness or promptness to act
The fact that someone acts or responds very soon, without waiting.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[someone]'s quickness to [verb] / quickness in [doing something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes say *"fast to help"* instead of "quickness to help" or "quick to help". Use the noun "quickness" after a possessive (e.g. *"her quickness to help"*) and the adjective "quick" directly before the verb (e.g. *"she is quick to help"*).
Từ đồng nghĩa
promptness (Close in meaning but slightly more formal; focuses more on being on time or not late.)
|
readiness (Emphasizes being willing and prepared; may not always imply high speed as strongly as "quickness" does.)
Từ trái nghĩa
hesitation (Highlights delay or uncertainty before acting, the opposite of acting quickly and readily.)
|
reluctance (Focuses on being unwilling or slow to act, especially when "quickness" suggests eager action.)
