Frequently Asked Questions
I heard someone say something that sounded like 'ben'. What did they mean?
You most likely heard 'ven', which means 'Come here!' (a command from the verb 'venir'). It's also possible you heard 'bien', which means 'well' or 'good'. The word 'ben' itself is almost never used in modern Spanish, except as a name.
