Conjugation #10: Volitional Form

The volitional form by itself is the equivalent of "let's..." in English, as in "Let's go," or "Let's eat." The volitional form is also used when expressing thoughts, such as "I'm thinking of doing (action)."

Formal Volitional

For all verbs ending in -masu, change masu to mashō.

Informal Volitional

Class 1 verbs: change -u to -ō

Class 2 verbs: change -ru to -yō

Class 3 verbs: These verbs are irregular, so their volitional forms must be memorized.
