What's the difference between じき and すぐ?


`すぐ`, and especially `今すぐ`, is my habitual way to express "soon", or "right
after this".

I know that `じき` means more or less the same thing, and when I hear it or see
it written, I get the general meaning of the sentence.

However, I don't feel comfortable saying it myself because I'm unclear on how
they differ and what the nuances are.

What are the conditions in which to choose one over the other, and do they
differ in meaning?




`じき` means temporally farther than `すぐ`. I don't know if the meaning of `じき`
overlaps with the English `soon`. If it does, then `soon` has a broader
meaning than `すぐ`. `じき` can instead be translated as 'sooner or later', or
'eventually'.
