Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of new intensifiers mega- and giga- and words prefixedby them in contemporary colloquial Polish. The author tried to describe the morphologicbehaviour of these prefixes, their semantic value and syntax. Focus was put mainly ondetermining the semantic value of those new intensifiers and their current usage in Polish.It appears that although current dictionaries of Polish language do not even mention thecolloquial usage of mega- and giga-, those prefixes are commonly used in spoken and writtenlanguage, not only by teenagers, but also by adults, including journalists and advertisingcopywriters.
