If somebody said you are extraordinary?

No. When they say you're extraordinary, it doesn't mean you're super-normal. It means you're out of the usual - something different - MORE than ordinary.

You stand out - you're not less special. Instead, you're more special. It can mean that you are interesting or weird! Depend on what the person mean.

Think of the word "extraterrestrial." It means like the word "alien." In English, terrestrial means relating to Earth, but the prefix "extra-" change the meaning to "beyond the Earth" - like an alien!

Extra is connected to word, not a separate adjective.

It is that way because sometimes, there are words that mean the same thing - we call meaning "denotation," but one word may have a different HIDDEN meaning - it feels different. We call that "connotation."

For example: the words big and enormous. They both mean large, but one feels a lot different than the other one.

Ordinary means biasa/normal

Extraordinary means luarbiasa

That means u are abnormal... Like an alien or transformers...

It could be either way. Extraordinarily notorious in a negative way or extraordinarily good, positively.
