Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'vienes' and 'venís'?

'Vienes' is the 'tú' form, used to talk to one person informally. 'Venís' is the 'vosotros' form, used in Spain to talk to a group of people informally. In Latin America, you would use 'vienen' to talk to a group.

How is 'vienes' different from 'llegas'?

'Vienes' focuses on the movement *towards* a place ('you are coming'). 'Llegas' (from the verb 'llegar') focuses on the moment of *arrival* ('you arrive'). They are very similar, but 'venir' is about the journey and 'llegar' is about the destination.
