If you're wondering what the difference is between 'bon' and 'bònn'.  The difference comes from the gender accord in the French language.  'Bon' is used with masculine nouns, and 'bònn' is used with feminine nouns.  There's no gender accord in Creole.  It is best to memorize the few ones that you find in Haitian Creole.

Mèsi, pase yon bònn jounen e orevwa!
