What does it mean word for word?
The word bienvenido is a combination of bien (well) and venido (come), which literally means "well-come".

The form of the word changes depending on who you are addressing. If you are addressing a male, use bienvenido a mi página. If you are addressing a female, change the ending to bienvenida a mi página. For a group of multiple people, or a mixed group of men and women, use the plural form bienvenidos a mi página. If you are addressing a group consisting only of women, use the feminine plural form bienvenidas a mi página.
Did you know?
- The word página is a direct descendant of the Latin word pāgina, which originally referred to a row of palisades or a line of soldiers. This shows how a word for a physical boundary evolved into the term for a leaf of paper or a web page.
- In Spanish, if you are welcoming a single person of unknown gender, you must default to the masculine bienvenido. This makes the masculine form the standard grammatical neutral in many digital contexts.
- In Spanish, you can use bienvenido as a noun to describe a person who is welcome, whereas in English 'welcome' is almost exclusively an adjective or a greeting.
