EtymologyEdit

Inherited from Old Spanish venir, from Latin venīre, from Proto-Italic *gʷenjō, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷm̥yéti, from zero-grade of *gʷem- + *-yéti. Compare French venir, Portuguese vir.

  • Audio(file)
  • Rhymes: -iɾ
  • Syllabification: ve‧nir

VerbEdit

venir (first-person singular present vengo, first-person singular preterite vine, past participle venido)

  1. (intransitive) to come (to move towards the speaker)
    ven aquí / ven acá ― come here
  3. (reflexive, slang) to achieve orgasm; to cum; to ejaculate

Usage notesEdit

  • Venir always references movement towards the speaker, whereas English "come" can signify movement towards the speaker, the listener, or another mentioned place. To indicate movement toward the listener or another location, use ir (“to go”):
    Él va hacia ti.
    He's coming towards you.
    ¿Irás a la fiesta conmigo?
    Will you come to the party with me?
