How to Say "let's arrive" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “let's arrive” is “lleguemos” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Es crucial que lleguemos a un acuerdo pronto.
It is crucial that we reach an agreement soon.
¡Lleguemos a la fiesta antes de que empiece la música!
Let's get to the party before the music starts!
Dudo que lleguemos tan lejos sin un mapa.
I doubt we will get that far without a map.
The Subjunctive Mood
"Lleguemos" is the special verb form (Subjunctive) used when you express wishes, doubts, or necessity about the action. You often need it after phrases like 'Espero que...' (I hope that...) or 'Es importante que...' (It's important that...).
The 'Nosotros' Command
This exact form, 'lleguemos,' is also used to say 'Let's arrive' or 'Let's get there.' It functions as a suggestion for the group 'we.' For example: '¡Lleguemos antes que nadie!'
Spelling Change Rule (G to GU)
Since the base verb is 'llegar' (with a hard 'g' sound), the letter 'g' changes to 'gu' before the vowel 'e' to keep the sound consistent. This is why it's 'lleguemos' and not 'llegemos'.
Using the wrong mood
Mistake: “No creo que llegamos a la playa.”
Correction: No creo que lleguemos a la playa. (The phrase 'No creo que...' (I don't believe that...) signals doubt, which requires the special Subjunctive form 'lleguemos'.)
