hi.. is it okay to use　"早い" instead of　"速い" when we want to say "fast"?? interchanging the use of these two is okay?? :)

Japanese probably use them interchangeably, but 早い is more for early and 速い is more referring to fast speed.

Above all things, love.

たとえば、

速く走る(to run fast)、足が速い(a fast runner)、速く泳げる(can swim fast)、速球(fastball)

早く起きる(wake up early)、早く寝た(went to bed early)、早く来た(came early)、朝早く(early in the morning)、早目(doing something early)

:)

Above all things, love.
