Significado
Used to express approval of a suggestion.
Contexto cultural
In French professional culture, saying 'C'est une bonne idée' is often a way to signal that a consensus has been reached after a period of 'contestation' (debate). In Quebec, you might also hear 'C'est une méchante bonne idée!', where 'méchante' acts as an intensifier meaning 'really' or 'wicked' (similar to 'wicked good' in Boston). In many West African French-speaking countries, agreement is often very enthusiastic. You might hear 'C'est une trop bonne idée !' using 'trop' to mean 'very'.
Add an Adverb
