Erklärung

〜ましょう is a polite way to suggest doing something together. It is similar to “Let’s …” in English. It is made by replacing ます with ましょう. Key points: • Verb ます-form → ましょう • Used to make a suggestion or invitation • Polite and friendly • Often followed by よ or ね for tone For example, “行きます” becomes “行きましょう” (Let’s go). “食べます” becomes “食べましょう” (Let’s eat). You can use it in daily conversation to propose an action: “一緒に勉強しましょう” means “Let’s study together.” It is softer than a direct command and sounds cooperative. If you want to be even more gentle, you can add か: “行きましょうか” (Shall we go?). As a beginner, practice by taking common ます verbs and switching to ましょう. This makes it easy to invite others politely.
