goei

Dutch

Etymology

Back-formation from goeie. Goeie is a regular development from goede with intervocalic deletion of -d- (compare rooie from rode); goed however does not regularly yield goei and is to be viewed as a rare analogical formation based on goeie.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ɣuj/
• Hyphenation: goei

Adjective

goei (comparative beter, superlative best)

1. (rare and dialectal) alternative form of goed (“good”)

Usage notes

• The form goei itself is a rare dialectal form. The inflected form goeie is on the contrary extremely common, but it does not derive primarily from this uninflected form (rather the opposite); see the etymology section above.
