Questions about 快
How is 快 used in a sentence?
This page shows 31 sentences using 快 (kuài, "Quick (fast - delighted - soon)"), each with pinyin, an English translation and audio. Every one of them was written by hand for this site.
Are these sentences machine generated?

Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 快 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
