[-SAD-] Wrong Both are adjectives ("super" can also be a noun though). Those are completely different, yet often similar by meaning words) "Super" is quite informal, while "superb" is not.
Again, guys, look up here when in doubt)
Добавлено спустя 47 секунд An adverb would be "superbly", btw
And let's not forget the prefix "super-", which means:
1) указывает на положение над чем-л., сверх кого/чего-л.
2) указывает на дополнительность, добавление к чему-л.
3) указывает на чрезмерное действие или проявление признака
4) указывает на высшее качество
5) указывает на высшее положение в иерархии

Super and superb mean basically the same thing except that siperb is, as it was said earlier, more formal, like you'd rather see superb than super in newspapers and magazines, mostly when describing something, while super is more informal.
Hil BTW i heard a different version of your first joke:
- How many watches?
- Five without five
- Learned in MGIMO?
- Ask!

Me neither. But I did a research And found that originally it comes from hollywood picture "Casablanca", there's been a dialogue of an elderly german couple, who were going to USA and learned english:
—Which watch?
—Six clock.
—Such much?
—Whom how.
Sentences about MGIMO, INYAZ etc were added by russian students and had rendered the joke rather incomprehensible)

Anoss Well, the student jokes were intended for students and alumni, thats why we're having a hard time getting them. My friend knows a bunch of jokes about XAИ, and he had to explain me the meaning of every single one since i've never been and will most likely never be a student there.

Цитата:
coralsea of course, but I still think, that Germany has a chance to win this championship and I'll hope for the best.
Yep, Germany has a good chance to win the Championship. The team is playing at home and its a passport to success. As for me, I even did not watch a single game on TV-) News only..Cause sport channel on my TV shows a bad picture:D
