✕Common Mistakes
Questo è un super film.
Do not use *super* before a noun (e.g., *super film*). It works only as an adverb modifying an adjective or verb.
La storia è super coinvolgente.
When speaking about a feminine noun, the adjective must agree: *È super coinvolgente* works because *coinvolgente* is invariable, but avoid mismatching gender with other adjectives.
