  In conversation, I tend to use it on an accusing tone, often coupling it with phrases like "Si je comprends bien" or "Laisse-moi deviner": « Si je comprends bien, c'est à toi de choisir qui d'elle ou de moi se fera virer. J'ai bon ? », « Laisse-moi deviner : c'est à toi de choisir qui d'elle ou de moi se fera virer. J'ai bon ? »

"J'ai bon ?" means "Am I right ?". Some students when they are stressed in an exam ask the teacher with "J'ai bon ?" or "J'ai bon là ?" to know if they have the good answer.

This spoken French expression is asking if what has just been done/said is correct or not.

It comes from school teacher's usage to write Bon (for bonne réponse, good answer) in front of a pupil's correct answer and Faux otherwise.

It is sometimes used jocularly after an obviously incorrect statement.

The question works as is so is not missing anything but can be expanded to that equally common one:

J'ai bon ou j'ai faux ?

An alternative version of j'ai bon can also be:

J'ai juste ?

• J'ai bon espoir


• J'ai bon pied (to be steady on one's feet)


• J'ai bon moral

The sentences given are set phrases; for other concepts it becomes necessary to add the indefinite article;

• J'ai une bonne attitude.


• J'ai une bonne compréhension du sujet.

• J'ai bon espoir


• J'ai bon pied (to be steady on one's feet)


• J'ai bon moral

The sentences given are set phrases; for other concepts it becomes necessary to add the indefinite article;

• J'ai une bonne attitude.
