뜻
Used to express satisfaction or indicate something is done correctly.
문화적 배경
The French often use 'Pas mal' (Not bad) to mean 'Bien' (Good). It's a form of litotes, a figure of speech that uses understatement. In Quebec, 'bien' is often used in the phrase 'bien correct' to mean something is perfectly fine or no trouble at all. In many African French-speaking countries, 'bien' is used emphatically and repeated for effect: 'C'est bien bien !' Belgians use 'bien' similarly to the French, but might pair it with 'sais-tu' in informal settings for emphasis.
The Thumbs Up Rule
If you can give a thumbs up to an action, use 'bien'.
Avoid 'Je suis bien'
Unless you are sitting in a very comfortable chair, stick to 'Je vais bien'.
