To say 'Let's do something' in Spanish, you often use the 'nosotros' (we) form of a special verb tense called the present subjunctive. So, 'ver' (to see) becomes 'veamos' (let's see), and 'comer' (to eat) becomes 'comamos' (let's eat). It's a super useful shortcut for making suggestions to a group!

Making 'Let's...' Suggestions

Using 'veamos' is a soft, friendly way to suggest a group activity. It feels more like a collaborative idea ('let's do this') than a strong command.

A Friendly Invitation

Extremely common, used daily as a suggestion.

Sprinkle 'Veamos...' into your conversation when you need a second to think. It's the perfect, natural-sounding pause, just like you'd use 'Hmm...' or 'Let me see...' in English.

Sound More Natural

Used constantly in conversation as a filler word.

Using 'vemos' instead of 'veamos'

In Spanish, after phrases that express wishes, doubts, emotions, or commands (like 'I hope that...', 'I doubt that...'), the following verb changes its ending. For 'we see', the normal form is 'vemos', but in these special cases, it becomes 'veamos'. This special form is called the subjunctive.

The 'Wishing and Doubting' Verb Form

Common in sentences expressing wishes, doubts, or opinions.
