آئیے / چلیے + Subjunctive

Suggesting a Shared Action

Level 4

آئیے → let us take the next step together.

How It Works

آئیے and چلیے can introduce a polite proposal to act together. The following first-person plural subjunctive ends in a nasal vowel, as in بیٹھیں, دیکھیں, or کریں.

These opening words can also be literal commands to come or move. In a shared proposal, they help invite the listener into the next activity; چلیے does not always mean physical walking.

ہم can be stated for clarity, but the verb and situation often make it unnecessary. The proposal differs from an instruction aimed only at the listener.

Examples (4)

  1. آئیے، اس مسئلے پر بات کریں۔

    Let us discuss this problem.

    کریں invites a shared discussion.

  2. چلیے، پہلے وقت طے کریں۔

    Let us agree on a time first.

    The proposal concerns a decision, not movement.

  3. آئیے، ہم دونوں ایک مثال دیکھیں۔

    Let us both look at an example.

    ہم دونوں makes the shared participants explicit.

  4. چلیے، باقی کام کل کریں۔

    Let us do the remaining work tomorrow.

    A polite proposal can move an activity to a later time.
