FIL: Agad-agad; sa sandaling iyon din; walang pagkaantala.
EN: immediately, at once
This is the OG 'send' button. The moment you think it, it happens. Parang PM is the key, pero with actions. It's the opposite of 'mamaya na,' the official slogan of procrastination.
From 'kapag' (when) + 'karaka' (an archaic term for 'at once').
This is a formal and somewhat archaic word. You'll find it more in literature or formal speeches than in everyday conversation. 'Agad-agad' is the more common equivalent.
