Sentence Structure

The volitional form of a verb expresses an invitation or suggestion. The plain volitional form is obtained as follows:

Regular I verbs: The final syllable of the dictionary form changes from one ending in u to one ending in u and is elongated.

au ("meet")        aō ("let's meet")
iku ("go")        ikō ("let's go")
oygu ("swim")          oyogō ("let's swim")
hanasu ("speak")        hanasō ("let's speak")
matsu ("wait")       matō ("let's wait")
asobu ("play")          assobō ("let's play")
yomu ("read")        yomō ("let's read")
kaeru ("return")        kaerō ("let's return")

Regular II verbs: The final ru of the dictionary form changes to yō.

miru ("see")       miyō ("let's see")
taberu ("eat")       tabeyō ("let's eat")

Irregular verbs:

kuru ("come")       koyō ("let's come")
suru ("do")         shiyō ("let's do")

The polite volitional form of a verb is the same as the masu form, only with mashō replacing masu: ikimashō ("let's go"), mimashō ("let's see"), etc. The plain volitional form is used mainly by men, wheras the polite volitional form is used by both men and women.

Examples:
ここでしばらく休みましょう。
Koko de shibaraku yasumimashō.
Let's rest here for a while.

バーで村田さんの昇進を祝おう。
Bā de Murata-san no shōshin o iwaō.

試験に落第しないようによく勉強しましょう。
Shiken ni rakudai shinai yō ni yoku benkyō shimashō.
Let's study hard so that we won't fail the exam.

Hope this helps!
