- The script used to write ಸೂಪರ್ is the Kannada script, as Tulu did not have its own widely used written system for many centuries.
- Tulu is a member of the Dravidian language family, but because it is spoken in a multilingual belt, ಸೂಪರ್ is used identically across Tulu, Kannada and Konkani speakers in the region.
- When ಸೂಪರ್ is used to describe a performance, a listener might respond with ಜೊರಾಗಿ ಉಂಡು, which means 'it is powerful' rather than just 'it is good'.
