Oh no, I know the formal meanings of "legit." I am talking about the slang meaning of "legit." Some online slang dictionaries said that "Legit" means real or cool or awesome. And a native user said that "Stephenie Meyer's books are legit amazing." So, I was asking the meaning of "legit" in that context...
Thank you!
Thank you!

vdbOh no, I know the formal meanings of "legit."If you'd bothered to read the dictionary definition, you would have noticed that "legit" is actually an informal word.
vdbAnd a native user said that "Stephenie Meyer's books are legit amazing."I've never heard "legit" used like that. That's highly non-standard at best.

As the mother of two teens, I have heard it used that way.
It means, more or less, "truly" -- like "many people asked about this would agree; it's a legitimate opinion."
It does NOT mean "cool or awesome".
It can be used for negative things.
He's legit a jerk.
That meal was legit terrible.
(As in "It's legit amazing that anyone can think Stephanie Meye
