Rather than anwering your question directly, I am going to make a few statements about the usage of English.

It can be difficult to answer a question on a single word without knowing the context you have seen/heard it used. A full sentence helps.
English is a complex language. Words are used literally and figuratively.
Some words are used in almost a meaningless sense, such as an interjection.
Some words are used out of context in common everyday language (informal language).
Wonderful is such a word. People (in some countries) will sometimes use it to in a way that means "thank you" or "cool", or "great". e.g. If someone offers to pay for your lunch you could reply, "That would be wonderful!" (meaning something like, "that would be great, thank you" or "I would appreciate that.")
You are best to exhaust your language resources (dictionaries, websites, etc) before asking questions, particularly about individual words. As you read and research, you will discover many other interesting and useful things about the English language and English usage.

I hope this helps.
