    Just wondering what this translates as: きましょう

    Currently learning the ‘let’s’ in textfugu and i know きる is ‘to come’. I cant imagine it translating as ‘lets come’. It seems as if its just another ‘let’s go’.

    Got any kanji? Or context? Cause it could mean “let’s put it on”. As in clothing. 着ましょう.

    Ah, didn’t spot your little bit of confusion – “come” is くる. It’s one of the irregulars, so it conjugates a bit funny. きる is 着る = “put on (clothing)”.

    Mind you, if you’re just given “きる”, it could also refer to 切る, 斬る, 伐る, 剪る, 截る or 鑚る, but all of those are う-verbs, and so their volitional form is きりましょう. Such is the importance of kanji. Or context. =)
