Velozmente vs rapidamente

Question

Hello

I'm unsure about the difference between velozmente and rapidamente. I understand that sometimes they can be used interchangably but other times not. Can anyone explain the difference to me?

Answer 1

I've posted in the forum several times before but anyway, many thanks everybody

Answer 2

NKM's link provides a fuller explanation, but in short: Velozmente: speedily (and other options) Rápidamente: rapidly (and other option)

Which one which you choose in English? Same difference.
