Venga

Venga is a Spanish verb form derived from venir, meaning to come. It is used in several grammatical contexts. It is the present subjunctive third-person singular form (él/ella/Ud.) of venir, and it is also the formal second-person imperative (usted) form. As such, it can function as a polite command: “Venga aquí” meaning “Come here” or “Please come here.” It also appears in subordinate clauses requiring the subjunctive: “Espero que venga mañana” meaning “I hope that he or she comes tomorrow.”

Venga is also widely used as an interjection in casual speech, particularly in Spain. When uttered with a certain tone, it functions as “come on” or “let’s go,” encouraging someone to proceed or hurry: “Venga, no te demores.” Its meaning can vary with context and intonation.

The form has no fixed lexical meaning beyond being a verb form; it is not typically used as a noun. Venga is common in both spoken Spanish and written language whenever the subjunctive or polite imperative is required, and its exact force depends on context, mood, and intonation.
