The Let's Form
I would rather give a form an easy to remember name instead of a textbook one.
In this case, I'm calling this form the Let's form, because it would be used in
sentences like:
Let's go.
Let's do it!
Let's eat.
Let's go back now.
The ending for this form is -ou. All the verbs will end with those two letters.
(Sometimes you will see it spelled -oo, but it's the same thing when you write it
in the Japanese alphabet)
We will now demonstrate how to add the Let's ending to all three types of verbs.
Irregular Verbs
We'll start with the two irregular verbs:
kuru - koyou (let's come)
suru - shiyou (let's do)
These are irregular, and have no pattern. Luckily, there are only 2 of them in
Japanese! You'll just have to memorize these two. Luckily, they're both used a
lot -- it shouldn't take you long.
Ichidan Verbs
Then we'll move to the second most popular category, the Ichidan verbs. These
are the verbs that end in -eru or -iru. Remember, there are some Yodan verbs
that try to masquerade as Ichidan verbs. Since they end in -eru or -iru, you can
be fooled. A list of these verbs was given in Lesson 12.
