Suurepärane

Suurepärane is an Estonian adjective meaning excellent, superb, or first-rate. It is used to express high quality, outstanding performance, or admirable results. The term is a compound formed from suur, meaning great or large, and pärane, an attributive element that conveys merit or approval; together they form a strong praise word.

Suurepärane is widely used in everyday speech, journalism, education, and marketing, and can describe objects, actions, performances, or experiences. For example, seefood? Actually: “see toit on suurepärane” (this food is excellent); “ta tegi suurepärase töö” (they did excellent work); “see etendus oli suurepärane” (that performance was superb). The adverbial form is suurepäraselt, meaning “excellently.” Related expressions include väga hea (very good), tipptasemel (top-class), and maailma tasemel (world-class).

In usage, suurepärane conveys strong positive evaluation but is not hyperbolic when used sincerely; in casual speech it can be tempered with forms like väga for emphasis or used more conservatively in formal writing. The word is common in reviews, recommendations, and evaluative comments, as well as in everyday praise.
