/ka-a-GAD/
FIL: Sa parehong sandali; nang walang pagkaantala o pagpapaliban; agad-agad.
EN: Immediately, right away, at once
The most optimistic word in the Filipino vocabulary. When your mom says 'Linisin mo 'yan kaagad,' she means NOW, not after one more TikTok video. It's the opposite of 'mamaya na.' In the world of online shopping, it's what you hope for when you see 'sameday delivery.'
From ka- + agad. The prefix 'ka-' adds emphasis to the immediacy.
Often used interchangeably with 'agad', but 'kaagad' can add a slight emphasis on the immediacy and is very common in commands.
