My favorite source for the origin of English words.

i noticed on linguee “goofy” gets translated quiet often as “goofy”. So I’m guessing its a tricky one to translate. Sometimes it get translated as “albern” but i had the impression that albern is kind of negative – i’d say goofy doesn’t really have an inherant negativity. Like, I’d say goofiness is harmless and kind of charming (often in a awkward teenage way) – does albern have that sense?
