Does Anyone Speak Spanish

Hi my husband is hispanic but his mother is white. She is always yelling this word to my daughter. I have no idea what it means. I think it is spanish. I don't want to ask my husband because it is touchy when it comes to his mom. Has anyone heard of "bingaka or vingaka" It makes me made because if she wants to teach a spanish word then at least let it be right. She told me before that it meant come here, but when I do english to spanish it is not even close.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thanks she isn't pronoucing it right. My hubby has told me she doesn't say things correctly. I think if you can't teach her the correct way to speak spanish. Don't!

ven acá

"v" is pronounced "b" at the beginning of a word. Adding the 'g' is probably a local pronunciation.

She's right, but has lazy pronunciation.

"Ven aca" means "come here". I use it with my daughter all the time. The "v" in Spanish is often pronounced more like a "b".

I had always heard "venga aqui" for "come here" literal translation is "you go here"
Thank you to my 2 years of Spanish in college - LOL! a native speaker may be able to offer more.

Is the spelling correct? That doesn't look like anything I know.

Venido aquí is Spanish for come here. V is pronounced like a B so it would be pronounced bendo a key (soft a)

It is "van pa ka" totally not spelled right, but she is saying come here. Put in, "ven para aca" on the translator. Its just slang...shortened up.
