Let’s in Spanish

There’re many differences between English and Spanish, that’s not big news. But I think the most painful differences are those that complicate things that are simple in the other:

In Spanish, you’ll need the first-person plural form of the subjunctive mood.

Here are some everyday examples you’ll likely need sooner or later:

  • Let’s go – Vamos.
  • Let’s talk – Hablemos.
  • Let’s eat – Comamos.
  • Let’s drink – Tomemos algo.
  • Let’s buy [something] – Compremos [x]
  • Let’s call [someone] – Llamemos a [alguien].
  • Let’s make love – Hagamos el amor.
  • Let’s go for a walk – Salgamos a caminar.
  • Let’s see – Veamos.
  • Let’s leave – Vámonos.
  • Let’s get started – Empecemos.
  • Let’s wait – Esperemos.
  • Let’s go out – Salgamos de acá.
  • Let’s take a break – Descansemos un rato.
  • Let’s try – Intentemos / Probemos.
  • Let’s dance – Bailemos.
  • Let’s stay here – Quedémonos acá.
  • Let’s stop here – Paremos acá.
  • Let’s play – Juguemos.
  • Let’s work – Trabajemos.

There’s no Rioplatense Spanish magic involved here. This is just standard Spanish rules.

Good luck in making plans and persuading your friends!
