The plural of "bonus" is...?
Greetings.
Me and a few friends have been discussing this problem for a while now, so I thought it was about time I asked someone with more knowledge than we (obviously don't) have.
Is the plural of bonus bonuses or boni? I have seen both in use, but I have also been told that boni is from latin and should not be used in everyday English.
Thank you for any answers.

I´m not a teacher but I think the plural is Bonuses.
Boni does not seem to make sense.

I have never seen it as anything but bonuses in relation to receiving money over and above your pay as a reward for good work.
Since the correct noun form in Latin is "bonum", the plural in Latin would be "bona".

It appears to be similar to 'focus' and 'foci' or 'radius' and 'radii' but it is not.
