EN: brevity; shortness; conciseness
This is the formal term for shortness, but not just for physical things. It's often about time or communication. Think of a TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read). The goal of a TL;DR is "kaigsian." It's the art of getting your point across without the "chika." Your boss wants the report with "kaigsian," meaning straight to the point, no fluff.
From `ka-` + `igsi` (shortness) + `-an`.
Often used in formal writing or speech to refer to the shortness of time, a speech, or a piece of writing. Interchangeable with 'kaiklian'.
