Common Mistakes

  • Ich geht's super.

    The subject must be in dative (mir) because the verb "gehen" is used impersonally.

  • Mir geht super.

    You need the dummy subject "es" (contracted to "'s") after "geht".

    Avoid stacking adjectives; choose one intensity word.

Cultural Tip

"Super" is a casual, upbeat word that younger speakers love. It works well in everyday chat, but in a formal business setting you might prefer "ausgezeichnet" or "sehr gut". Also, remember the dative "mir" – using the nominative "ich" would sound ungrammatical.
