Questions & Answers about Давай посидим в тихом парке и поговорим о планах на завтра.
What does давай mean here, and why is it used at the start of the sentence?
Давай here is a very common conversational way to suggest doing something together: “Let’s …” / “How about we …”.
Grammatically it comes from the verb давать (to give), but in this pattern it functions like a particle introducing a proposal. It’s informal and friendly.
Why is it давай посидим and not давай сидим?
Because давай + verb typically takes a perfective verb when you’re proposing a concrete action as a whole event.
- посидим is perfective (from посидеть) and means to sit (for a while) / to have a sit.
- сидим would be the present tense of сидеть (we are sitting), so it sounds like a statement, not a suggestion.
What’s the difference between сидеть and посидеть (and посидим)?
