What's the 1st Person Imperative analogous to 'ko'?


How do you say "Let's eat!"?


doi ma'a ko citka

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".
