Grammar a Day - Level 1 [ はかどる (hakadoru) ]

はかどる (hakadoru) - Make progress


--- Examples ---
仕事がはかどってるようですね
Looks like you are making progress in your work.

どの程度はかどっているのですか?
How much progress are you making?

あの人は学校の勉強のほうははかどっているのですか。
How is getting along with his school work?

仕事は非常にはかどっている。
The work is marching right along.

--- Comments ---
はか means the results from one's efforts - see はかない.はかどる
therefore takes the results of your efforts in making progress.

I wonder if this is really JLPT level 3? (contributor: dc)

this is an interesting phrase, but is this a grammar construct, or
vocabulary I wonder? (contributor: anon)

Maybe as bamboo4 said before that haka is the result from one's effort,
then haka+toru (take the result) becomes hakadoru which resulted to the
meaning 'making progress'... (contributor: Ethanol)

I am not sure about the connection b/n はかどる/はかない.
捗る(はかどる)-JPLT1 vocab (Kanji) / 儚い(はかない) - JPLT1
vocab (no kanji). It seems this may simply be Lev.1 vocab rather than
grammar? (contributor: samboki)

good word but it's vocab. The meaning of surrounding word constructs do not
change based on it. (contributor: Bakurosareta)
