yourcrimeswrittenallovermybody ha preguntado: Hi! I have a question about the most recent Spanish lesson. You open with "Welcome=Bienvenido". Is this to say that bienvenido is also the infinitive form? It looks something like that when I search the terms online. Bienvenida/o is an adjective, and in this form it appears to be a gerund.
