What type of language are you using when say pleased really extremely happy?

The phrase "pleased really extremely happy" uses hyperbole, which is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis or effect.

Here's why:

* "Pleased" suggests a mild level of happiness.

* "Really" intensifies the happiness but doesn't change its fundamental level.

* "Extremely" pushes the happiness to a high level but doesn't necessarily signify the absolute peak of joy.

By combining these words, the phrase creates a strong sense of happiness, but it's not a literal statement. The speaker is using hyperbole to communicate that they are very happy, even if they aren't *literally* at the peak of their emotional capacity.

This type of language is common in everyday speech and can add humor, emphasis, or even irony to a conversation.
