Enthusiastic approval.
Contexto cultural
Poles are traditionally seen as complainers, but the phrase 'To jest super' is part of a 'new wave' of Polish positivity that emerged in the 21st century. Younger Poles often use 'super' ironically or with extreme emphasis to signal belonging to a modern, globalized peer group. In modern Polish startups, 'super' is the standard language of feedback, replacing the more rigid 'dobrze wykonane zadanie'. On Polish Instagram, 'Super!' is one of the most common one-word comments, often accompanied by fire or heart emojis.
The 'To' shortcut
In 90% of casual conversations, you can just say 'To super!' and skip the 'jest'. It sounds more native.
Sarcasm Alert
Be careful with your tone. A flat, bored 'No, super' means 'This is terrible'.
