Would the translation 'are you early' or 'is it early' be wrong?

[V2Blast]

I think that'd be fine, since there's no kanji.

[LudovicusH]

Depends on the context. From the comments above, there are two kanji with the same pronunciation but with different meanings. One means "fast" the other one means "early". Thus i believe your translation is acceptable. But you will only know for sure which is the most correct one by knowing the kanji (when reading) or knowing the situation (when speaking).

[HoroTanuki]

Often used in anime "h-hayai" (he's fast). or "hayai sugiru" (too fast)

[V2Blast]

It'd be はやすぎる - い-adjectives lose the final い when you add すぎる to the end.

[RodrigoRequiao]

What about "Am I fast"? It was not accepted...

[piguy3]

Is this only applicable to single inanimate objects?

Or would "Is he/she fast?" / "Are they fast?" also be possible?

[sotnosen93]

Since there's no context here and Japanese usually omits pronouns you'd know from context, I'd say those answers are all acceptable.

[dtUyaD]

So "fast" as in train, not as in clock?

[GeraldMath4]

A clock that's fast すすんでいる, in a state of being advanced.

Learning with Duolingo made me more confused. It doesn't provide any grammar explanation and very boring lessons. So I downloaded all Genki books and workbooks with audio + Kanji learning book+workbook. Now I'm at lesson 4 at Genk 1 and it's a bit hard, but way more interesting than typing "today I am busy but tomorrow I'll be doing party for 24 hours".

We all learn differently though there's no obvious answer to "What's the best and most time efficient method to learn a language ?" but mentioning DL it's not the best and far from perfect but from the threads here I knew there will be an overall update to the J. tree this summer with complete overhaul to the lessons, my biggest drop with DL is it doesn't provide more Kanji usage early and that makes reading long hiragana phrases hard , after all it just takes time to progress.

I gotta go はやい

[GeraldMath4]

A scary one, knowing how Duolingo works. Do I write "Is it fast?" or "Am I early?"
