what is the difference between the use of ゆっくり and おそい especially talking
about adverbs, for example:

> ゆっくり歩いてください

> 遅く歩いてください

The second one sounds weird for me, but I dont understand the reason behind or
when to use one or the other

question
meaning adverbs
differences between ゆっくり and 遅く
遅い has negative connotations when used to describe someone’s movement or
action. It’s like saying “not quick enough”. For example, the following
statement sounds like a criticism.

> 彼は歩くのが遅い。

This negative sense is clearer in the following.

> 彼は仕事が遅い。

ゆっくり has no such connotations in itself. If it’s used in a criticism, that’s
due to sarcasm.

Maybe that’s why 遅く歩いてください sounds weird.
