Lesson#2
To suggest a single concrete joint action to a friend or family member, use the informal word 'давай' followed by the first-person plural simple future. For example, 'Давай пойдём в кино!' means 'Let's go to the cinema!'.

Quiz#5
Speaking to a friend, translate into Russian: 'Let's go out of town this weekend!'

Lesson#6
When speaking to more than one person, or when you need to be polite and formal, use 'давайте' instead of 'давай'. You pair it with the future tense form of the verb. For example, 'Давайте встретимся в субботу!' means 'Let's meet on Saturday!'.
