To say ‘Come here’ in French, you would use the phrase ‘Viens ici’. This phrase is commonly used in everyday conversations.
Here’s a breakdown of the phrase:
- Viens – This is the imperative form of the verb venir, which means ‘to come’. It is used when giving a command or instruction.
- ici – This word means ‘here’. It specifies the location where you want the person to come.
So, when you combine these two words, ‘Viens ici’ directly translates to ‘Come here’ in English.
Example in a sentence:
Viens ici, s’il te plaît. (Come here, please.)
This phrase is informal and is typically used when speaking to someone you know well, such as a friend or family member. If you are in a more formal setting or speaking to someone you do not know well, you might use ‘Venez ici’ instead, which is the formal version of the command.
