Compare with
supi vs gut
good
'gut' and 'supi' can both express that something is positive. 'gut' is neutral and fits almost any situation, including school, work, or official conversations. 'supi' is very colloquial and sounds casual, friendly, or sometimes a bit childish. It means more like 'super' or 'great' than just normally good. In messages to friends, 'supi' can sound natural; in formal texts, 'gut' is much more appropriate.
supi
Supi, dass der neue Drucker endlich funktioniert!
Great that the new printer is finally working!
gut
Im Gespräch war es gut, dass du die Kosten sofort erklärt hast.
