Bedeutung
Feeling great joy about something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Russians value 'душевность' (soulfulness). Being 'в восторге' is seen as a soulful, honest reaction to beauty or kindness. In many Russian-speaking countries, this phrase is the 'gold standard' for positive customer reviews on apps like Yandex or Wildberries. 19th-century writers used 'восторг' to describe the 'sublime'—a mix of awe and joy when facing nature. On Russian Instagram/TikTok, 'в восторге' is often used with the adverb 'просто' (simply) for emphasis.
Use 'просто' for emphasis
Adding 'просто' (simply/just) before 'в восторге' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
The 'OT' Rule
Never use 'о' or 'про'. It's always 'от'. This is the #1 mistake for foreigners.
