Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.Venire is a very common and versatile verb in Italian. It can be used to indicate physical movement, as well as figurative movement or change. For example, you can use it to say 'I'm coming home' (Sto venendo a casa), but also 'I'm coming up with a new idea' (Sto venendo con una nuova idea).
The verb venire is irregular, which means that its conjugation doesn't follow the regular patterns of Italian verbs. However, it's still a very important verb to learn if you want to speak Italian fluently. Its present tense conjugation includes io vengo, tu vieni, lui/lei viene, noi veniamo, voi venite, loro vengono.
In addition to its basic meaning of 'to come', venire is also used in many idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs. For example, you can use it to say 'to come across' (venire attraverso), 'to come back' (venire indietro), or 'to come up against' (venire contro). Learning these expressions will help you sound more natural when speaking Italian.
