In practice I'd use ".e'u ma'a citka" rather than an imperative here, 
since "Let's eat" is a suggestion, not a command.  The closest thing I 
can find to a 1st person plural imperative in English is performatives 
like "We ride!" (usually spoken by a barbarian leader in a fantasy 
film).  In that case I might use "ko".
