Did you know?
- While bienvenida means 'welcome', the phrase de nada is used for 'you are welcome' after someone says thank you, as the two concepts use entirely different words.
- The root of bienvenida comes from the verb venir, meaning 'to come', rather than the English 'welcome' which is rooted in the word 'will' or 'pleasure'.
- Even if you are welcoming a group of 100 women and 1 man, the phrase changes to the masculine bienvenidos.
