Making Proposals with "Let's"
To suggest an action—like "Let's..." in English—use the imperative form of "to come" followed by the present subjunctive of your main verb (usually in the "we" form).
The imperative of "to come" matches who you are addressing:
- بیا: for one person (informal).
- بیایید: for a group or formal address.
| Let's focus on this problem together. | بیا با هم روی این مشکل متمرکز شویم.biâ bâ ham ruye in moshkel motamarkez shavim. |
| Let's evaluate the new conditions well. | بیایید شرایط جدید را خوب بسنجیم.biyâyid sharâyet-e jadid râ khub besanjim |
Adding Purpose with "So That"
To state the purpose of your proposal, connect it to the intended result using تا (so that). The verb describing the goal after تا must also be in the present subjunctive.
| Let's focus so that we finish the work early. | بیایید متمرکز شویم تا کار را زود تمام کنیم.biyâyid motemarkez shavim tâ kâr râ zud tamâm konim. |
| Let's test a new solution so that the project succeeds. | بیا یک راهکار جدید تست کنیم تا پروژه موفق شود.biyâ yek râhkâr-e jadid test konim tâ porozhe movaffaq shavad. |
Suggesting Multiple Targets
To tackle multiple items at once, use the structure هم... و هم... (both... and...) to group objects before the main verb.
| Let's solve both this obstacle and that problem. | بیایید هم این مانع و هم آن مشکل را حل کنیم.biyâyid ham in mâne' va ham ân moshkel râ hall konim. |
| Let's expand both the services and the products. | بیا هم خدمات و هم محصولات را گسترش دهیم.biyâ ham khadamât o ham mahsulât râ gostaresh dahim. |
Compound Verbs
When proposing actions with compound verbs (like همفکری کردن or به اشتراک گذاشتن), the subjunctive changes only apply to the light verb at the end of the phrase.
| Let's brainstorm so that we find a new solution. | بیایید همفکری کنیم تا یک راهکار جدید پیدا کنیم.biyâyid ham-fekri konim tâ yek râhkâr jadid peydâ konim. |
| Let's share our vision with the manager. | بیا چشمانداز خود را با مدیر به اشتراک بگذاریم.biyâ cheshm-andâz khod râ bâ modir be eshterâk begozârim |
