Venir is one of the most commonly used verbs in Spanish. It is equivalent to “come”. It’s an irregular verb and today you’re learning how the venir conjugation works.

That is, with chunks instead of conjugation tables.

Are you ready? ¡Empecemos! (Let’s get started!)

1. Venir conjugation for you and I

Actor 1
¿Tú vienes a la oficina diario?
(Do you come to the office everyday?)

Actor 2
No, solamente vengo cuando tengo junta.
(No, I only come when I have a meeting.)

Attention: Yo vengo, tú vienes. (I come, you come.)

More examples:

Actor 1
Paulísima, así que, ¿siempre has sido multimillonaria?
(Paulisima, so, you’ve always been a multi millionaire?)

Actor 2
No, yo vengo de una familia muy humilde. Vengo de abajo.
(No, I come from a very humble family. I come from the bottom.)

Ojo: Vengo de… (Attention: I come from…)

But we don’t really use “vengo de” to talk about place of origin. We would normally say “soy de”.

The following is a verse from a famous poem by José Martí that is super useful to learn both come and go in Spanish.

Yo vengo de todas partes y hacia todas partes voy.
(I come from everywhere and I go everywhere.)

Now part of a song by Argentinian legend Fito Paez:

¿Quién dijo que todo está perdido? Yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.
(Who says everything is lost? I come to offer my heart.)

Notice that in the last two cases we use the pronoun YO. Yo vengo de todas partes, yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón. (I come from everywhere, I come to offer my heart.)

It makes sense because they’re part of a song or a poem, in regular speech we don’t really say it, because the pronoun is implied in the conjugation.

But at Spring Languages, we don’t fixate on grammar items, according to our team of linguists and polyglots, the best way to learn is the way we’re doing it now. Through the use of word combinations naturally used by native speakers.

We’ve covered so much ground!
