bienvenida

/bjembeˈnida/ · A2 · noun · f

welcome

🚪🤝 bien + venida = well + coming: a well-coming, i.e. a welcome

Built exactly like English welcome: bien (well) + venida (a coming, from venir, to come). The -a ending marks the feminine noun la bienvenida, and the same form is said to a woman; to a man it is bienvenido. Dar la bienvenida = to give a welcome.
