Ven adentro (one word), ponte (to be consistent with ven) cómodo. - Deanski, Apr 20, 2011
Rite on Dj just show me to the beer jeje - EL_MAG0, Apr 20, 2011
I'm pretty sure you're wrong Deanski on the first part, because that's a common phrase, and it's always said "Ven por dentro..." if you use adentro it gives a different meaning. "Ponte" would definently bring consistency though. =) - DJ_Huero, Apr 21, 2011
