Lesson 28: Let's (for -ru ending verbs)

Vocabulary needed for this lesson:

もう少し
もう すこし
just a little bit more

急いで (this is the verb command form. Dictionary form is 急ぐ )
いそいで
hurry up!

--------------------------

In this lesson I will teach you how to say "Let's...." for -ru ending verbs.

So far we have learned these -ru ending verbs.

着替える
考える

-------------------------

So, if you want to say, "Let's change clothes!" you simple turn the -ru into -you.

So, written in Japanese, it would look like this:

着替えよう
きがえよう
Let's change clothes

考えよう
かんがえよう
Let's think

着替える → 着替えよう
きがえる → きがえよう

考える → 考えよう
かんがえる → かんがえよう

--------------------------

Example:

もう少し考えよう
もう すこし かんがえよう
Let's think about it a little more

急いで!着替えよう!
いそいで!きがえよう!
Hurry up! Change your clothes!
(in this case mother is speaking to her child and literally translated it means "Let's change our clothes)
