Signification
Expressing enthusiasm or approval.
Contexte culturel
Slovenians value quality over quantity. When they say 'To je super,' they usually mean it. It's not just 'polite talk' like in some other cultures. In the capital, you'll hear 'super' more often than in the countryside. It's part of the 'Ljubljanščina' (Ljubljana dialect) which is more open to loanwords. In the northeast, people might use 'fajn' or 'čuj, to je super' (Listen, that's great). The dialect is more melodic and uses different filler words. Near the Italian border, enthusiasm is expressed more loudly and frequently. 'To je super' might be accompanied by more hand gestures.
The 'Ful' Booster
Add 'ful' (from English 'full') before super to sound like a local: 'To je ful super!'
Don't overdo it
If you say 'To je super' to every single sentence, you might sound insincere. Mix it up with 'Zanimivo' (Interesting).

The Slovenian Nod
