Etymology
Probably from Portuguese boa noite rather than derived naturally in Macanese, since *bô is not used in regular Macanese speech.
Interjection
bô-nôte
- good evening!
Usage notes
- In written Macanese, the hyphen is very commonly used between the two words in "good"-type phrases and interjections.
- Despite the literal translation of the phrase, it does not mean "good night"; that is expressed using bôm-sôno.
