hasty
Acting, judging, or deciding too quickly and without sufficient thought.
Es war eine voreilige Entscheidung, den Job sofort zu kündigen, ohne einen neuen zu haben.
It was a hasty decision to quit the job immediately without having a new one.
The word is derived from 'vor' (before) and 'Eile' (haste). A 'voreilige' (hasty) action therefore happens, as it were, 'before the haste,' meaning that it happens too quickly and without the necessary consideration.
Sei nicht so voreilig mit deiner Zusage, denk erst darüber nach!
Don't be so hasty with your acceptance; think about it first!
'Voreilig' (hasty) can be used as an adjective before a noun or as an adverb to describe a verb. The form of the word does not change in this use, except when declined as an adjective.
Das war ein voreiliger Schluss.
That was a hasty conclusion.
'Voreilig' (hasty) is often used in combination with actions or judgments. Typical collocations are 'eine voreilige Entscheidung treffen' (to make a hasty decision), 'ein voreiliges Urteil fällen' (to pass a hasty judgment), or 'voreilig handeln' (to act hastily).
Ich möchte kein voreiliges Urteil über die Situation fällen.
I don't want to pass a hasty judgment on the situation.
deliberate / intent
'bedacht' and 'voreilig' are clear opposites. Someone who acts 'bedacht' thinks beforehand and remains cautious. Someone who acts or judges 'voreilig' decides too quickly and without enough information. 'bedacht' sounds positive or neutral because it shows calmness and careful thought. 'voreilig' usually sounds negative because it can lead to mistakes. The simple difference is: 'bedacht' means think first, then act; 'voreilig' means act too quickly.
Er kauft die Wohnung nicht voreilig, weil er zuerst die Kosten prüfen will.
He is not buying the apartment hastily because he wants to check the costs first.
Die Kundin stellt bedachte Fragen, bevor sie den Vertrag unterschreibt.
