Duden has this marked as a word from the Umgangssprache. How out of place would it be in a formal text?
It sounds a bit “jolly” but I can totally see it in a novel. In a text coming from court, not so much. Maybe it’s not exactly Umgangssprache, but it has “character” and a “vibe”, if you know what I mean.
Thanks for clarifying, I totally get what you mean and was thrown off by Duden’s categorisation.
