Similar words

venirse
acabar

Usage

Read the context before translating se viene, since everyday previews and the intimate slang use need very different English wording.

Common mistakes

Se vienen una sorpresa uses plural agreement with a singular subject, and literal arrivals such as trains usually need llega.

Etymology

From Spanish venir, from Latin venire, with the reflexive pronoun se adding a pronominal shape that can mark an approaching event or the verb venirse.
