Bonega! or Bonege! or Bonegon!
I use Bonega but I have seen Bonege. To me it should be an adjective because you are saying that the situation is great.
Bonega = La situacio estas bonega.

Miland:Thanks for the answer. Allow me to clarify.Alkanadi:It's not a verb but an adverb, that modifies or describes another verb (even esti).michaleo:Bonege = Estas bonege!What verb is bonege?
Let's say someone buys a new car and you say Bonege!. Doesn't that imply that the act of buying the car was done well. Bonege is an adverb, which means that it describes a verb. Ther only verb was that the car was bought.
If you say Bonega! then it implies that the car is awesome, or the situation of owing the car is awesome.
Anyway, it appears that both ways are correct.

Alkanadi:"Bonege" implies that the situation of owning the car is awesome. "Bonega" refers ONLY to the car itself being awesome, every situation surrounding it would be "bonege".Miland:Thanks for the answer.

An exclamation of "bonega" would be rare, "bonege" would be the standard.

Alkanadi:Adverbs don't merely describe verbs, they modify the meanings of verbs:

Bona = good, Bone = well.
Bonega = excellent, bonege = excellently (done)
Bonega/bonege are probably not exactly the same.

DuckFiasco:I think it's less likely that it's a nuanced philosophical statement and more what a language that Zamenhof spoke does, so it made its way into Esperanto. I've heard Russian or Polish does this, for instance.Yup. In fact, most Esperanto syntax (and prepositional prefixes) is quite similar to Slavic languages. If you see something that looks weird to you as an English speaker (like the dummy tio in "tio ke", or antau ol), it's very likely a Slavic feature.
