Ir vs Venir - "To go vs "To come" in Spanish

[@realfastspanish]

So what do you think? Do you think "venir conmigo" matches the normal pattern or should be considered an exception?

[@raykarr6062]

It seems like an exception to me.

[@johntrojan9653]

✔️ DUH !???????? "'🤯'"

[@RosanneLoriMalowany]

Matches the normal pattern

[@LesIDT]

Since the person you accompany is going some place and is not at the destination, it probably should be considered an exception. Perhaps, I wouldn't call it an exception but rather "a particular case". Thanks so much for your videos and articles, they are really useful and always seem to "guess" what words I'm going to have trouble with! (An educated guess, I am sure!!)

[@robandioverton6837]

I think 'Vienes conmigo" is an exception. You and the person you're talking to are both not at the place you're going.

Another really nice video helping to define the use of infinitives-thanks!!!!

[@MzPyjamas]

Your videos are so helpful and also bring me a feeling of back home in Australia when you talk! I live in Madrid and I hardly speak Spanish, understand some since my husband is Italian and it’s similar but your videos are so clear and helpful! Thank you

Thank you, these shorts are very useful

[@realfastspanish]

Thank you for the feedback!! 🙏

[@ctm10235]

Muchas gracias. Por fin entiendo "!Ya voy!" 🙂

[@raymondmcmenamin9028]

Perhaps it follows the normal pattern since it appears to beckon the other person albeit there is no specific destination. Very interesting lesson and has helped clarify some confusion in my brain on this topic. I'm sure I'm not the only one benefitting greatly with these short videos.

Thanks Raymond! 🙏

[@AdeleFagan-y9l]

Excellent video

[@lindajenkins7323]

Gracias . Tu eres el mejor

[@skrubby7026]

Gracias por un video muy ayudable como siempre... Estoy pensando, si le estás pidiendo a alguien que "venga conmigo", ya eres el destino. Así que "venir" es el verbo correcto.

[@RoberthaHuitema]

Could you post also the written version of the videos?

[@believeinpeace]

[@adammalik2500]

Happy a nice day all of us..

[@jdiscoollovesbeer]

¡Gracias por este video! También estoy curiosa por saber el nombre de la película :)

[@truckermikemct1]

I always felt that using "go" and "come" interchangably in English was bad English. To me, "go" means leaving or enroute to a place and "come/came" means has arrived/ enroute at/to a place. It depends on the perspective. If I were in my house I would say "John is coming here". If I were in John's house I would say "I am going home". Makes sense?

[@huynhhoangkhoi6643]

espetaculare 💯

[@suefleming3358]

Gracias, Andrew. Pienso que usar 'venir' para decir 'come with me' es regular. :-)

[@realfastspanish]

¡Gracias Sue! 😊

[@adammalik2500]

Wao.. Awesome, i like it, and i am happy to know you, i hove samdey we can playing guitar together

[@lancemartel7281]

Without sounding too vulgar, I was just wondering about how Spanish speakers would express themselves during the act of intercourse. For example we all know what a person might yell out in english during an highly excitable phase. In French, the expression used is "J'arrive" or I am arriving. So I imagine that in Spanish it most likely has nothing to do with the verb venir. No this isn't a joke, I am seriously curious.

[@konradberingmeier5190]

Venir in Spanish, definitely. And in French? Remember Jane Birkin: Non, maintenant, viens...

[@gerlautamr.656]

In Spanish we use two verbs for this, one of them (and the most common) is "venirse", and the other one (a bit less common) is "correrse".So, "me vengo!" means "I'm cumming!" , and "Me corrí" means the same (in the past).Excuse me for being vulgar, but I wanted to answer to your doubt LOL

[@leebarrett4709]

Brilliant

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks Lee! 😊

[@sartajameer9118]

No quiero ir a la fiesta esta noche, yo pienso que es un destino por eso .

[@jeromson1]

I don’t want to go to the party makes it easier to translate for beginners, not come to the party. Just a thought

[@ferguswebster7714]

Nice examples. Must have taken some patience.

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks Fergus! 😊

[@BailBonds510bailbond]

A premiro creí que "Mi hermano viene a cenar a mi casa todos los lunes" Esto es una excepción? pero la persona que lo ha dicho esta a la casa.

[@realfastspanish]

¡Sí, exacto! 👏
