ⓘ Come on down! Il s’agit de la formule consacrée du jeu télévisé The Price is Right (dont l’équivalent français est Le Juste prix) qui débuta en 1957 aux États-Unis, et dans les années 80 en Grande-Bretagne. L’animateur de l’émission prononçait ces paroles («Descendez!») pour inviter les membres du public sélectionnés pour participer au jeu à venir le rejoindre sur la scène. Aujourd’hui on utilise cette formule plaisamment pour dire à quelqu’un d’approcher ou bien pour indiquer à quelqu’un qui doit prononcer un discours ou se produire sur scène qu’il est temps de prendre place.

ⓘ Come up and see me sometime… Cette formule fut utilisée pour la première fois par Mae West dans le film de 1933 She Done Him Wrong (dont le titre français est Lady Lou); la citation exacte était en fait Why don’t you come up sometime, see me? («Pourquoi est-ce que tu ne monterais pas un de ces jours, pour me voir?»). Il s’agit de l’archétype de l’invitation au badinage. Encore aujourd’hui on utilise cette formule en imitant l’air canaille de Mae West.

VT

COME, GO
Although c ome and venir usually imply motion towards the speaker while go and ir imply motion away from them, there are some differences between the two languages. In English we sometimes describe movement as if from the other person’s perspective. In Spanish, this is not the case.
► For example when someone calls you:

I’m coming Ya voy
► Making arrangements over the phone or in a letter:

I’ll come and pick you up at four Iré a recogerte a las cuatro

Can I come too? ¿Puedo ir yo también?

Shall I come with you? ¿Voy contigo?
► So, use ir rather than venir when going towards someone else or when joining them to go on somewhere else.
► Compare:

Are you coming with us? (viewed from the speaker’s perspective) ¿(Te) vienes con nosotros?
For further uses and examples, see come, go
