Definition
勤快 emphasizes being diligent and industrious in a hands-on, everyday sense — often used for someone who is eager to work and never lazy. It's more colloquial and personal than 勤奋 (which is more formal and general), and unlike 用功 (which is specifically about studying), 勤快 applies to chores, tasks, and daily work.
