Answer:
A collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time. On the other hand, other combinations may be unnatural and just sound "wrong".

the fast train | the quick train

a quick shower | a fast shower
a quick meal | a fast meal
