EN: immediately, right away, instantly
This is the 'ASAP' of Tagalog. When your boss emails you and marks it 'urgent,' they want it done 'kagyat'. It's faster than 'mamaya,' more urgent than 'agad-agad.' It's the speed of light for tasks and actions.
Often used in formal or literary contexts. 'Agad' is more common in everyday conversation.
