Leaving a review
When writing a review online, you might want to share a strong opinion about a product or service.

| I am reading the review right now. | Ahora mismo estoy leyendo la reseña. |
Adding "super-"
To exaggerate an adjective or adverb, you can add the prefix super-. In Spanish, prefixes attach directly to the front of the word without a space or a hyphen.
If the base word begins with an r (like rápido), you must double the r when attaching the prefix so it keeps its strong rolling sound (superrápido).
| The car is super fast. | El coche es superrápido. |
| The restaurant is super expensive, but I love it. | El restaurante es supercaro, pero me encanta. |
| The mobile phone works super well. | El móvil funciona superbién. |
Using "extra-"
You can also use the prefix extra- to mean "extra" or "especially." Just like super-, it attaches directly to the word to form a single new word.
| The paper is extra thin and breaks easily. | El papel es extrafino y se rompe fácilmente. |
| The towel is extra soft and very pleasant. | La toalla es extrasuave y muy agradable. |
Taking it further with "re-" and "requete-"
For an even more extreme or expressive tone, Spanish uses the prefixes re- and requete-. These translate to "very" or "extremely" and are incredibly common in casual, everyday conversation.
| The cake is very dry. It is a bad recipe. | La tarta está reseca. Es una mala receta. |
| The new mechanic has repaired the car extremely well. | El nuevo mecánico ha arreglado el coche requetebién. |
| I am leaving a good review because the product is extremely good. | Estoy dejando una buena reseña porque el producto es requetebueno. |
