Questions & Answers about Zacznijmy spotkanie i pomyślmy razem.
How does the ending -my work in zacznijmy and pomyślmy?
The -my ending is how Polish translates the English concept of let's. You take the base command form used for one person, like zacznij (start!) or pomyśl (think!), and add -my to make it a group suggestion for us.
Is there a separate Polish word for let's?
No, Polish doesn't use a separate word here. All of that meaning is packed directly into the -my ending attached to the verbs zacznijmy and pomyślmy.
Why are we using perfective verbs here rather than imperfective ones?
When making a suggestion to do something together, we usually want to focus on completing the action or achieving a result (which requires a perfective verb), rather than focusing on an ongoing, continuous process. We want to successfully get the meeting started and reach a conclusion together.
What case is the word spotkanie in?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb. It is the thing being started. Because spotkanie is a neuter noun ending in -e, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its dictionary form.
