너무 vs. 진짜 vs. 정말
I am really confused in when to use 너무, 진짜, and 정말. Can someone please clear up when it is appropriate to use each one?

진짜 - is like true/truly?
진짜 좋아해요! (O)
I truly like it!
정말 - really (usually for positive endings)
정말 좋아해요! (O)
I really like it!
너무 싫어해요! (O)
I really hate it!
너무 - really/excessive/too much. It is suppose to be for negative things/sentences to show that is it too much or excessive.
But sometimes Korean will use 너무 with positive endings.
However, grammatically speaking, the following is incorrect
e.g I heard a mother say to her child wearing a costume,
'너무 예뻐!'
Really pretty!

너무 , 정말, 진짜
너무(too good) - usually used in front of the negative word : 너무 나쁘다 너무 맛없다
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
정말(really good) - 정말 맛있다! 정말 감사합니다! - little bit formal
진짜(truly good) - 진짜 맛있다! 진짜 감사합니다! - casual
