Questions & Answers about Spotkajmy się w muzeum albo w parku.
What form is Spotkajmy się, and how does Polish express a “let’s” suggestion?
- Spotkajmy is the 1st person plural imperative (hortative), meaning “let’s …”.
- Adding się makes it reciprocal: “let’s meet (each other).”
- Pattern: verb stem + imperative ending + -my. Here: spotkać (perf.) → spotkaj- → spotkajmy.
- Other persons: Spotkaj się! (meet! — to one person), Spotkajcie się! (meet! — to you all).
Why do we need się here?
- spotkać = to meet (someone/something) as a direct object.
- spotkać się = to meet (with each other). The się marks a reciprocal/middle action.
- Without się, you’d need an object: Spotkajmy Jana = “Let’s meet Jan.”

Why perfective spotkać (as in Spotkajmy) and not imperfective ?
