Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'vine' and 'fui'?
'Vine' means 'I came,' which is movement *towards* a location. 'Fui' means 'I went,' which is movement *away* from a location. You would say 'Vine a tu casa' (I came to your house) but 'Fui al cine' (I went to the movies).
Is 'vine' from 'ver' (to see)?
No, that's a common point of confusion! 'Vine' is from 'venir' (to come). The past tense form for 'ver' is completely different; for 'I saw,' you would say 'vi'.
