mega vs super

super

'super' and 'mega' are both often used when you think something is very good or want to strongly emphasize something. Both words sound colloquial. 'super' is very general and fits in many everyday situations. 'mega' often feels even more casual and stronger, and sometimes a bit more youthful. They can be confused because both work as praise or as intensifiers. In neutral conversations, 'super' is usually safer, while 'mega' sounds especially enthusiastic.
