El "re" en el habla informal oral se utiliza para darle intensidad al adjetivo, como "so" "pretty" "quite" , recansado=súper cansado, espero hayas entendido

In Spain we dont use "re" with that meaning.
When we put "re" before a verb it means "volver a" (sorry for my bad English), for example: rellamar= volver a llamar, recaer= volver a caer, reutilizar= volver a utilizar,...
We have the same meaning than in Latin America when writing "requete" before an adjective, for example: estoy requetecansado, el bizcocho está requetebueno,... It´s very colloquial.

it means "I'm super/so tired".
When we use "re" is to emphasize something like:
Esta re perdido - He is so lost
I think "re" is kind of language expression, it is used instead of words like "muy", "bastante" or "super" :)

Es un tipo de modismo .
Se pone Re para exagerar una accion . Esto es solo se ocupa en el lenguaje infomal .
Ej:
Yo estoy Reagotado ... eso quiere decir que esta súper agotado
Estamos rehambrientos.. que estan como mucho apetito .
