convenir

1. to admit; to agree [+ de (object) = to/upon]
2. (impersonal) to be appropriate or admissible (to be agreed upon according to convention) [+ de (object)]
3. to suit; to be convenient for [+ à (someone)]

   On se voit mardi, si cela convient aux autres. ― We’ll meet up on Tuesday, if this suits the others.

When conjugating convenir, compound tenses cannot be formed using être as the auxiliary verb in the sense of “to suit”. It must take avoir. This is even though it derives from venir, which takes être.

This is a verb in a group of -ir verbs. All verbs ending in -venir, such as revenir and devenir, are conjugated this way. Such verbs are the only verbs whose the past historic and subjunctive imperfect endings do not start in one of these thematic vowels (-a-, -i-, -u-).
