great
Colloquially and very rarely used as an adjective or predicative evaluation in the sense of 'super' or 'great'. This usage is not standard German and is only understood in very informal contexts.
Das Konzert gestern Abend war echt Suppe!
The concert last night was really great!
This use of 'Suppe' (great) as an adjective is very colloquial and not widespread. It belongs to youth slang and can sound outdated.
Die Party war echt Suppe, wir hatten viel Spaß.
The party was really great; we had a lot of fun.
Do not confuse this rare adjectival use with the very common noun 'die Suppe' (soup). In almost all cases, 'Suppe' means the meal.
Ich esse gerne eine heiße Suppe im Winter.
I like eating a hot soup in winter.
As an adjective, 'Suppe' (great) is used only predicatively, meaning it comes after a verb such as 'sein' (to be) or 'finden' (to find/consider). It cannot stand before a noun.
Ich fand seinen Vortrag richtig Suppe.
I thought his presentation was really great.
super
'super' and 'die Suppe' can both be meant as a positive evaluation in very informal situations. The important difference is: 'super' is normal, understandable, and very common in colloquial language. 'die Suppe' as an evaluation meaning 'great' is very rare and not standard German. Learners may confuse the words because of their similar form, but in normal German you should almost always say 'super' for 'very good'. 'die Suppe' is normally understood first as food, not as praise.
In der Runde sagte einer: „Das Konzert war die Suppe“, aber viele fanden die Formulierung ungewöhnlich.
In the group, someone said, "The concert was die Suppe," but many found the wording unusual.
Morgen machst du im Büro sicher eine super Präsentation.
Tomorrow you will surely give a super presentation at the office.
