By examining asymptotic behavior of certain infinite basic (q-) hypergeometric sums at roots of unity (that is, at a 'q-microscopic' level) we prove polynomial congruences for their truncations. The latter reduce to non-trivial (super)congruences for truncated ordinary hypergeometric sums, which have been observed numerically and proven rarely. A typical example includes derivation, from a q-analogue of Ramanujan's formulaSigma(infinity)(n=0) ((4n)(2n))((2n)(n))(2)/2(8n)3(2n) (8n+1) = 2 root 3/pi,of the two supercongruencesS(p-1) equivalent to p(-3/p) (mod p(3)) andS(p-1/2) equivalent to p(-3/p) (mod p(3)),valid for all primes p > 3, where S(N) denotes the truncation of the infinite sum at the N-th place and (-3/.) stands for the quadratic character modulo 3.
