Why are you so slow today?
Esperanto builds slow out of fast rather than the other way round, and the whole family follows: for the adverb, o for slowness as a quality, i to slow something down and i to slow down of its own accord. The - prefix is a true opposite, not a mere negation, so is slow, while only says it is not fast, which leaves room for perfectly average.
