Questions & Answers about míngtiān wǒmen zǎodiǎnr chūfā ba.
A very common Mandarin pattern is:
time + subject + adverbial phrase + verb + sentence particle
So here:
- 明天 = tomorrow
- 我们 = we
- 早点儿 = a bit earlier / early
- 出发 = set out / leave
- 吧 = suggestion particle
So the sentence is built very naturally in Mandarin word order.
Mandarin often puts time expressions near the beginning of the sentence, before the main verb.
So 明天我们早点儿出发吧 is very natural.
You can also say:
- 我们明天早点儿出发吧
Both are correct. The difference is mainly emphasis:
- 明天我们... puts a little more focus on tomorrow
- 我们明天... starts with we
