супер

супер means “super,” “great,” “excellent,” or “awesome,” depending on context. It is an informal, very common Russian expression used to show strong approval.

It was borrowed from the Latin-derived international prefix super- (“above,” “beyond”) and became widespread in Russian through European languages and modern popular culture. In casual speech, it can stand alone as an enthusiastic response.

Related Russian expressions include отлично (“excellent”), класс (“cool/great”), здорово (“great”), and круто (“awesome/cool”).
