I Want the Translated Meaning of a Word or just "I Want/Need the Translation of a Word"
I like the band Soundgarden. I've heard some of their songs but one of them requires translating. What does the term or "word" "Superunknown" mean?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
It is a made up word but essentially it means "uncharted territory" or a place which you know nothing about. For instance, the lyrics "Alive in the superunknown" could possibly be replaced with "Alive in a very unknown/confusing place". American English speakers do this kind of thing all the time. For instance, with adjectives one can even say they are "mega-tired". Here, mega means "very". Likewise, you can also say you are "super tired" which means the same thing.... "very tired". They are just doing it to create a new noun. :)
I want to translate the meaning of a word
I like the band Soundgarden. I've heard some songs but one of them requires translating (We would say "I've heard many of their songs, but I need help understanding one of them"). What does the term "Superunknown" mean?
Thanks for the answer.
"Superunknown" is a word they made up for the album. It is the words "super" and "unknown" put together. It doesn't really have a meaning, but it implies something huge and mysterious.
