() in the phonetic script indicate that particular pronunciation is optional.

normal formation.

______
gut [gu:t] A@., besser, am besten good, well
Er ist ein guter Handwerker.
Es aeht mir aut.
He is good with his hands.
I’m doina well.

tical differences will clarify matters.
For example:
abgeben [‘apge:b(a)n] V/t., i turn in, hand in v

made in English between adjectives and adverbs, even for those words
that are “pure” adverbs.
