Usage notes[edit]
- Venir is used slightly differently in Spanish than "come" in English. Venir always references movement towards the speaker, whereas "come" can signify movement towards either the speaker or the listener. The phrase "I'm coming home today" (towards the listener), would not use venir in Spanish, but ir (to go): "Voy a casa hoy."

5(Centroamérica)(sexualmente)to come (vulgar)
Aunque venir y come generalmente dan una idea de movimiento en dirección al hablante, e ir y go implican que hay un movimiento en dirección opuesta al hablante, tenemos que distinguir algunos casos en los que hay diferencias entre los dos idiomas.
En español no solemos describir el movimiento de una acción desde el punto de vista de la otra persona, mientras que en inglés sí. Por ejemplo, si alguien nos llama, respondemos:
Ya voyI'm coming
Si estamos organizando algo por teléfono, por carta, o en una conversación:
Iré a recogerte a las cuatroI'll come and pick you up at four
¿Voy contigo?Shall I come with you?
Por lo tanto, tenemos que traducir ir por come cuando, si vamos a algún sitio, nos unimos a alguien o a un grupo que va o ya está en ese sitio.
venir
Using the Spanish Verb ‘Venir’
Venir is a common Spanish verb with a variety of meanings. Fortunately, many of them can be translated using the English verb "to come," which also has numerous meanings.
Venir is a cousin of English "-vent" words such as "invent" and "convent" as well of "venue" and "venire" (a legal term).
Keep in mind that venir is conjugated irregularly, having forms such as vengo (I come) and vendrán (they will come).
Using Venir To Refer to Coming From a Place
Most commonly, venir is used to talk about coming to or arriving at a place:
- Cuando yo vine a California fui a Disneylandia. (When I came to California, I went to Disneyland.)
- Venimos en bus con un maestro y pagamos por nuestro transporte. (We came by bus with a teacher and paid for our own transportation.)
- Tenía sólo un año cuando vino desde España. (He was only a year old when he came from Spain.)
- ¡Ven aquí! (Come here!)

Using Venir To Point Out Qualities
Venir can mean "to include," "to be," or "to have," often in a way that can be translated by "to come":

Especially when used with bien or mal, venir can be used to indicate suitability:

- A ningún país le viene mal la globalización. (Globalization doesn't serve any country poorly.)
- Al libro le venía bien la promoción. (The promotion was good for the book.)
Using Venir With a Gerund
Venir can be used as an auxiliary verb with the gerund (also known as the present participle) to indicate a continuing action, often in an increasingly intense way.

Using Venirse
The reflexive form, venirse, like the standard form, can mean to come from a place. But it places more emphasis on where the thing or person has come from.
- La rumba se vino de Miami. (The rumba came from Miami. "La rumba vino de Miami" might be translated the same way, but making the verb reflexive calls extra attention to Miami, perhaps because the fact of the sentence may be surprising.)
- Los turistas se vienen de otros países. (The tourists are coming from other countries.)
- Necesitaremos agua por qué nos venimos del desierto. (We will need water because we are coming from the desert.)
The reflexive can also suggest that the verb's action was sudden or unexpected:
- Era lo primero que se vino a cabeza. (It was the first thing that came to mind.)
- Otra hipótesis es que el puente se vino abajo por la fragilidad de sus pilares. (Another theory is that the bridge came down because of the fragility of its pillars.)
- Los vientos se vinieron de un solo golpe. (The winds came suddenly in a single blow.)
