<div class="IPBDescription">I wish we all spoke Latin...</div> Ok... I am beginning to think I am losing my edge on language translations.

I am hoping someone can assist me. I have tried and tried to come up with the direct translation for this Italian word. I even resorted to google, which is sad for me.

The word is viene, it does not appear to be a valid word, yet I know it is I just do not recall if it is a conjugated word or if it is in its infinitive form. Assist, please?

    my instinct is to say it means 'come' -- because it comes from the same latin root as 'intervene' (come between)...

    babelfish confirms it -- it means 'it comes'. just use babelfish if you don't know something :> yeah, we all wish we knew the meaning of words without having to resort to translators, but how can we know anything if we don't find anything out? :>

    In spanish that is "you come [implied: over here]" the 'Tu' version of the verb 'Venir'. I think... It's been a year since I've had that class.

    Ok... I just hope it translates like that over in Italian, cause that is the language I am trying to assist with. I do thank you for all your help. I did know that viener was "to come" in spanish. I was just not sure how similar spanish and italian were, though they do share many verbs/nouns. :-)

    Viene? Isn't that the name of Venice in Italian? I could be wrong.
