    How it works

    Consists of the reflexive verb 'ducharse' (to shower oneself) combined with the flat adverb 'rápido' (functioning adverbially in place of 'rápidamente'). When conjugated, the reflexive pronoun moves before the finite verb (e.g., 'me ducho rápido'), but attaches to the end of infinitives, gerunds, and affirmative imperatives. It denotes an action performed with haste or within a short time frame.
