Spelling & Dictionary Insight
The German entry for không bao giờ is 13 letters long, classified as an adverb, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as […].

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is không bao giờ, spelled K-H-Ô-N-G- -B-A-O- -G-I-Ờ, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
