Questions & Answers about Me duele el estómago por la comida súper salada.
Why is there an accent mark on súper here, and is it a separate word?
The prefix súper is a popular colloquial way to say 'very' or 'extremely.' The strict grammar rule is to attach it directly to the adjective without an accent mark (like supersalada). However, in everyday texting and casual writing, native speakers frequently write it as a separate word with an accent mark (súper salada). Notice that even with this prefix added, the main adjective (salada) still has to match the noun (la comida) in gender and number.
Why does it say el estómago instead of mi estómago?
In Spanish, you almost always use definite articles (el, la, los, las) instead of possessive adjectives (mi, tu, etc.) when talking about body parts. The sentence already establishes whose stomach it is because of the indirect object pronoun me right before the verb.
