From Lesson 406:Intensifying prefixes (re-, super-, hiper-)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about El héroe puede teletransportarse lejos de la horda.

The current lesson is about intensifying prefixes. How could I apply them to this sentence to say the hero teleports 'super far' away?
You can attach these prefixes directly to the adverb lejos. To say 'super far', you can use superlejos or relejos. Remember that these prefixes are written as a single word with the base word, with no hyphen or space (so, puede teletransportarse relejos).
Can I attach an intensifying prefix like super- directly to the noun héroe?
Yes, absolutely! You can say superhéroe to mean superhero. Even though héroe starts with a silent h, the prefix still attaches directly to it without a hyphen or space.
Is the word teletransportarse created using the same prefix rules we are learning now?
Yes! Just like super- or re-, the prefix tele- (meaning at a distance) is attached directly to the base verb transportar to create one solid word. Spanish very rarely uses hyphens for prefixes.
Could the pronoun se go anywhere else besides attached to the end of teletransportarse?
Yes. Because puede teletransportarse is a verb phrase made of a conjugated verb (puede) and an infinitive, you have two options. You can attach it to the infinitive as shown here, or you can place it before the conjugated verb: El héroe se puede teletransportar. Both are equally common.
