Bien Vs Buen

Bien Vs Buen
 
Please reinforce me on the use of bien and buen in Spanish sentences.

For example are these correct?

Muy bien.

Bien, gracias.

Muy bueno/buena.

Bien semana or semana buena?

Noche buena ( In the Philippines it is the term used for a meal that is eaten after a midnight mass on 25th of Dec.) if I remember correctly since I have not been a Roman Catholic. It is probably the same in Spanish speaking countries.

Thank you.

Except for 'bien semana', all are correctly written.

Bien is an adverb and means 'well' in English.
Bueno is an adjective and means 'good' in English. Since this is an adjective, it must agree in number and gender with the noun it modifies.

So it's spelled as one word, thanks.

Since we are talking about this I'd like to ask why people answer the phone with "bueno.."

AngelicaDeAlquezar September 27, 2010 07:41 PM

@Chris: That's only in Mexico... in other countries they answer: "Hola" or "Aló" :)
...and sorry, I have no idea, it's just how it is. :D

irmamar September 28, 2010 12:57 AM

Here we say "¿Sí?". Some years ago people said "¿Diga?", but very few people answers like this now, "¿Sí?" is the most common answer. :)

AngelicaDeAlquezar September 28, 2010 01:50 PM

Oh, I had forgotten about those. Some people here also say "diga" and "sí". :)

¡Bueeeeno!
(¡Qué bueno, Daniel! Como dicen Les Luthiers...)

Sí, el "Bueno" al teléfono se lo he oído a muchos mexicanos... También he oído a Huapachá Combo decir: ¿Alo? ... ¿Alo...? ¿Alo...? ¿Alo...? :thinking: A lo mejor no está... :lol:

Y un amigo mío alemán que habla el español de forma bastante decente, me dice: "Suena el teléfono. Pedro contesta: 'Dígame'..." (del curso de español que hizo hace más de 20 y pico de años...)

También Gila, hablando por teléfono con su mujer "Tere"
--¿Teresa? Sí, sí..., sí, sí..., sí, sí..., sí, sí..., porque tu mad..., sí, sí..., sí, sí..., sí, sí..., sí, sí..., [...] ¡Hala, adiós!

Bien, bueno, en México, se puede usar el "bueno" para el teléfono, aunque no el "bien".

Y aunque quizá me haya desviado un poquito del tema del hilo [thread] "bien está lo que bien acaba". ;) :)

Bueno, "corto y fuera".

I will give you some many examples more for your upgrade.


Buen muchacho.
Buen día.

Estoy bién gracias.
Bien sabes que no puedo salir.


I don't believe have mistakes in my Spanish, but if am wrong in something, please let me know it.

Sincerely yours.

"Bien" has no accent, although "también" has it. ;)

Gracias, Chris... bien dicho... a ver si así aprendemos a "articular" las frases como es debido.
