非 (fēi) and 不 (bù) have different meanings and usage.
1. Meaning:
非 (fēi) can mean "wrongdoing; to oppose, be contrary to; to blame" when used as a verb or noun. For example, 非法 (fēi fǎ) means "illegal" and 非议 (fēi yì) means "to criticize". As a prefix, 非 (fēi) can also mean "non-", "un-", or "in-", such as 非洲 (fēi zhōu) meaning "Africa".
不 (bù) generally means "not" or "no" when used as an adverb or auxiliary verb. For example, 不好 (bù hǎo) means "not good" and 不要 (bù yào) means "don't want". As a prefix, 不 (bù) can also mean "non-", "un-", or "in-", but it is usually used to negate verbs or adjectives, such as 不同 (bù tóng) meaning "different" and 不高兴 (bù gāo xìng) meaning "unhappy".
2. Usage:
非 (fēi) is usually used in formal or literary language, while 不 (bù) is more commonly used in daily conversation. For example, you would say 不要 (bù yào) to your friend when you don't want something, but you would use 非要 (fēi yào) in a more formal setting, such as a business negotiation.
