✕Common Mistakes
Ouais, il est super humide.
For weather conditions you must use the impersonal ‘il fait’, not ‘il est’.
Ouais, il fait très super humide.
‘Super’ already means ‘very’; adding ‘très’ is redundant and sounds unnatural.
Ouais, il fait humide super.
The intensifier ‘super’ must precede the adjective, not follow it.

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic ice‑breaker in French culture. ‘Ouais’ is strictly informal, so reserve it for friends or peers. In the south of France, younger speakers often replace ‘très’ with ‘super’ for extra emphasis. When you need to sound polite or professional, swap ‘ouais’ for ‘oui’ and ‘super’ for ‘très’.
