buenogood (masculine singular)
Bueno agrees with the noun it describes. Before a masculine singular noun it becomes buen: buen día. Buen is a contextual form, not a universally interchangeable spelling of bueno. Buenas noticias shows feminine plural agreement, not the separate greeting buenas.

One thought, different forms
From lookup

Entry details and translation support vary by word, language, and device.
A few things you might be wondering.
Is the Loquus Dictionary free?
Yes. Find it under Reference in the Practice tab. Looking up words is part of free access and never uses one of your three daily lesson starts or changes your course progress.
Does the Dictionary include phrases and sentences?
Yes. Browsing the Dictionary lists words, and the Phrasebook tab on the same screen groups phrases by situation. When you search, the Dictionary also finds matching phrases and example sentences.
Do I need to type accents?
No. A search without accents still finds the word, so cafe finds café. You can also search by English meaning or, in courses written in another script, by romanization.
Can I search in my own language?
Yes, when the app is set to your language. On iPhone and iPad, if Apple translation supports your language, Loquus uses it on your device to turn your search into English and match it to course entries. Your first search may need a language download.
