Questions & Answers about Пусть каждая мечта сбывается быстрее!
Does пусть always translate to "let"? Here the translation says "may".
Why does this wish use the present tense сбывается instead of a future tense verb?
With пусть, imperfective verbs like сбываться (to come true) are used in the present tense to express a continuous, general, or repeated wish. Here, the speaker is wishing that dreams regularly or continually come true. If they were wishing for one specific dream to be fulfilled once, they would use the perfective future tense: пусть сбудется.
Why use каждая (each) for "every" instead of все (all) or всякая?
Каждая focuses on every single individual item within a group, making it the perfect match for "every dream" in the singular. If you wanted to use все (all), you would have to change the noun to plural: все мечты. Всякая means "any kind of" dream, which changes the meaning slightly.
What is the purpose of the -ся ending on сбывается?
