venga
come on, alright, let's go (informal farewell in Spain)
Pronunciation
/ˈbeŋ.ɡa/
Cultural Note
'Venga' is quintessentially Spanish (from Spain) and almost never used this way in Latin America. It functions as a casual goodbye ('venga, nos vemos'), encouragement ('¡venga, tú puedes!'), or agreement ('venga, vale'). Spaniards use it multiple times in a single conversation. It literally comes from the verb 'venir' (to come) in the subjunctive.
