Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'salgamos' the same as 'vamos'?
Not exactly. 'Salgamos' means 'Let's leave/exit a place.' 'Vamos' means 'Let's go (to a place).' While they are often interchangeable when suggesting an outing, 'salgamos' emphasizes the act of getting out or departing.
Why does 'salgamos' have a 'g'?
The 'g' is there because the root verb 'salir' is irregular in the 'yo' form of the present tense ('yo salgo'). The special verb form used for wishes and commands (the Subjunctive) always borrows the stem from that irregular 'yo' form, resulting in 'salgamos'.
