Questions & Answers about Venim des aici.

What does venim mean, and what form is it?

Venim means we come or we are coming, depending on context.

It is the 1st person plural form of the verb a veni = to come.

A quick mini-paradigm:

• eu vin = I come
• tu vii = you come
• el/ea vine = he/she comes
• noi venim = we come
• voi veniți = you all come
• ei/ele vin = they come

So in Venim des aici, venim tells you that the subject is we, even though noi is not written.

Why isn’t noi included? Shouldn’t it say Noi venim des aici?

In Romanian, the subject pronoun is often left out because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

So:

• Venim des aici = We come here often
• Noi venim des aici = also correct, but noi adds emphasis, like we do

You usually include noi only if you want contrast or emphasis:

• Noi venim des aici, dar ei nu. = We come here often, but they don’t.
