awesome, wonderful, absolutely fantastic they think A is "awesome", B is "wonderful", and C is "absolutely fantastic". I know "awesome","wonderful","absolutely fantastic" are used to describe sth very good or charming. but I cann't see the difference on the levels of them, as I am trying to tranlate them. so which is stronger than which?

Awesome, it's like saying something is cool. Something you like or compliment someone. Ex: That's awesome! or Your awesome! Wonderful is the same, but think of it as a more softer way of speaking. I would say this has more of a heartfelt response. EX: Dinner was wonderful. Absolutely fantastic, it's also the same. But it's more of a excited way of speaking. I don't use that phrase or even hear that often. But if you do use it, people would know what you mean.

There can be very slight nuances of meaning - such as awesome can be used for something a bit scary, wonderful is something that makes you stop and stare. However, most of the time, people would used them all interchangeably, and in fact all at the same time!
