Questions & Answers about Nosaltres també volem anar al museu dissabte.

Do I have to say Nosaltres, or can I leave it out?

You can usually leave it out.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is. Here, volem already means we want.

So both of these work:

• Nosaltres també volem anar al museu dissabte.
• També volem anar al museu dissabte.

Including Nosaltres adds emphasis or contrast, like we also or as for us, we also.
