Venire is a really common Italian verb. It means to come and you'll use it all the time to talk

about moving from one place to another. Since it pops up all the time in everyday phrases,

it's very useful to know for your next trip to Italy. But there's a really common sentence with

Venire that learners often use, but that doesn't quite

sound natural in Italian.

In this episode, you'll hear what that sentence is and what you should say instead. Hello to all and benvenuti.

Hi everyone and welcome to Learn Italian with Joy of Languages.

Venire is an irregular verb.

This just means that it doesn't follow the normal patterns and you have to learn it as it is.

But because it's so common, you'll have plenty of opportunities to hear it and to practice

it. For example, you'll hear it used in conversations about travel plans like talking

about where you're coming to meet someone or the transport you'll use to get there.

In this conversation between me and Katie,

we'll use different forms of venere.

See if you can hear different ways we've used it to talk about Katie coming to Naples

and me coming to pick her up.

At what hour arrive?

At least seven, but I'm in train, so we'll see it.
