📚 Etymology

The verb 'venir' comes directly from the Latin word *venīre*, meaning 'to come.' The conditional form 'vendría' evolved by adding the conditional endings (-ía) to the irregular future stem (*vendr-*), a pattern shared by other irregular verbs like 'tener' (tendría) and 'poner' (pondría).

First recorded: Old Spanish (around the 13th century)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'vendría' spelled with a 'd'?

The 'd' is part of the irregular stem for the Conditional and Future tenses of 'venir.' It changes from V-E-N to V-E-N-D-R to make pronunciation easier and follows the same pattern as other verbs like 'tener' (to have, stem: 'tendr-').

How do I know if 'vendría' means 'I would come' or 'He/She would come'?

Since the 'yo' (I), 'él/ella' (he/she), and 'usted' (formal you) forms are identical, you must look at the context or the subject of the sentence to know who is coming. Often, the subject pronoun ('yo', 'él', 'ella') is included for clarity when using this tense.
