The word 'immediately', meaning 'without preparation, immediately', is widespread in the language of sports as well as in many areas of everyday life.
More and more, we experience more and more signs of grayness in language use in everyday speech, and more and more in the media as well. An example of this immediately - this accusative noun that has become an adverb.
It occurs especially often in the language of sports: the soccer player " immediately , his ball ended up in the bottom left corner". Freely: from a hook , a hook shot on goal. "Our t-shirts right away " - i.e. they put forward the prospect of fighting back and defeating them at the next The competitor " immediately ensured his place in the final" with the third place. Correctly: directly, directly, absolutely, without any further (struggle), automatically entered the final. " The girls immediately Alternatively : the first clash is a cup match. " Juventus' Spanish player was immediately he was injured in the first training session The player would be "bought and passed on immediately his transfer would be made possible immediately "Whoever was eliminated immediately ": immediately . The European judo champion was " immediately eliminated": in the first (qualifying) round, in the qualifying round , etc.
Of course, this word meaning 'without preparation, immediately' is not only specific to the language of sports, it is fashionable in many areas. Follow media examples: "Whoever has a more serious problem should start getting rid of waste immediately he should start the cure immediately " immediately jump from ancient PCs to the cloud" (small and medium-sized enterprises), i.e. they switch to the most modern technology immediately, directly, immediately, suddenly Also: "he fouled up a penalty kick so much that immediately became a meme"; "I'm sure that you don't need to right away , you don't need artificial sedatives"; "If a relationship hits rock bottom, you shouldn't throw it right away , but try to fix it!"; "the engine starts without any problems, then stops immediately the garden machine " immediately , runs smoothly"; "The police immediately recognized" the thief"; "it's worth right away to prevent more serious trouble"; " right away , I didn't even have to think about whether to come"; " immediately fell in love with me".
The media personality's apple cookie is popular, "everyone buys two at once "There is a world championship where we got the gold medal, and two at once "; " Two arrived in Hungary at once" (from Austrian railway diesel engines); "since my acquaintance also liked (the glasses), we wanted to buy two at once For the avoidance of doubt: the cake is so delicious that they take two at a time we got the gold medal, and more ; of the planes arrived in Hungary right away even in that heat we wanted to buy two. ( Immediately , right away can sometimes be omitted, as can immediately . E.g.: we got the gold medal, and two more).
This foggy gray word first spread in colloquial language - mainly in speech - and then entered written texts as well - as we have seen, the media also often uses it. However, even where it has its place, even in the confidential language, it should be replaced from time to time by a suitable word or expression with a similar meaning. For the sake of choice, indicating the possibility of substitution, we list quite a few additional synonyms "immediately": at first, impromptu, immediately, immediately, unexpectedly, at this moment, in that heat, in that way, in a moment, now, in a hurry, in that minute , in a hurry, in the blink of an eye, in a breath, in a breath, without delay.
We say one, it becomes two: in terms of the quality of language use, we go from one to two, or from five to six, if we follow the rules of correctness in writing and using the mentioned noun that has become an adverb...
