Hajde is the friendly push, and hajdemo is the form for a group: Hajdemo! means "Let us go!" You can also use hajde da idemo or hajde da popijemo kafu. The second form uses da and the present.

In speech, the plain present can also work as an invitation, with the right tone: Idemo! This is very common among friends.

The forms in -mo belong to a group of three imperatives: one for ti, one for vi and one for mi.
