Extremely good, or extremely big and impressive — a playful way of saying 'even better than super'. The 'duper' half means nothing at all; it is there only because it rhymes, the same trick English plays in 'okey-dokey' or 'easy-peasy'. That rhyme is the whole flavour of the word: it is light, childish, and cheerful. Adults use it with children, or with each other when they are being deliberately silly, or — very often — , in a flat voice, to mean the opposite: 'Oh, super-duper, another meeting.' It usually sits before a noun ('a super-duper new phone') or before another adjective ('super-duper expensive'). It is not a word for essays, business emails, or exams. You will see it written super-duper with a , superduper, or super duper; the is the most common. Because it sounds dated to some younger speakers, it can carry a hint of 'the way my dad talks'.
超級棒的、頂呱呱的(俏皮、帶點孩子氣的說法,也常用來反諷;正式場合不用)
組成super 'above, beyond the normal' plus duper, which carries no meaning of its own — it was added just to rhyme, the way English makes playful pairs like easy-peasy.
