I was sent an email asking me this, and don;t want to have to ask the emailer what they mean, but can't find a definition of 'bon tempo'?

If it was sent as a question...bon tempo? I can only assume it means...Good time? Did you have a good time? Was it a good time? Was the timing right?

"bon" is the French word for good, while "tempo" is not French but appears to be Italian for time, weather etc. The sender probably is confused; he/she should have said something like 'bon temps' (French), 'buono tempo'(Italian), 'buen tiempo'(Spanish) etc. May be the sender has some other Romance language in mind, or trying to revive 'Esperanto' that never was.

Literally it means good timing, but the exact meaning depends on the context. It means good weather. In the musical sense it means upbeat.
