立刻 lìkè immediately
immediately; at once; right away
怎么记住“立刻”: 立 to stand + 刻 quarter (hour) = immediately.
汉字
用法
- Immediately / at once (adverb) - 立刻出发 (lìkè chūfā) set off at once; 我立刻就来 I'll come right away.
- Near-synonym 立即 (lìjí) is slightly more formal/written; 立刻 and 马上 (mǎshàng) are common in speech. All precede the verb and mean 'right now'.
