Seguimos...... ¿Seguimos?........¿sigues?

Question

Seguimos - Let's continue

¿Seguimos? - Shall we continue?

¿sigues? (me sigues?) do you follow? Do you get it? (lo piilas?)

right?

Gracias.

Answer 1

When using "nosotros (let's)" commands, we conjugate the verb to the present subjunctive.

Sigamos - Let's continue.

A common expression for "let's continue" using "seguir" is...

Sigamos adelante - "Let's carry on." or "Let's keep moving forward."

...The rest looks fine to me.

"¿Seguimos?" - "Do we continue?" "Shall we continue?"

"¿Sigues? (¿Me sigues?)" - "Do you follow?" "Are you with me?"

"¿Lo pillas?" - "Do you get it?"

I hope this helps, Jeezzle

Corrijan mi español, por favor

Yes sigamos makes sense there, but I know she said, seguimos......... I wonder if she meant "we are continuing" and not asking, but being foreful about it, like "moving on" and if you can do that with seguir. Hmmm. - jeezzle, Aug 10, 2011

"seguimos" means "we continue". I think that would be fine to use. It could also mean "we are continuing" or " we are going to continue" - GuitarWarrior, Aug 11, 2011

Answer 2

Something interesting related to this question that you wont find in many books is that nosotros commands like ¡Sigamos! are actually considered more formal than the more common command you would hear ¡Vamos a seguir! Something you would use in a situation where you don't know everybody so well.

I like using "vamos a + infinitive" as well. :) - GuitarWarrior, Aug 11, 2011

Answer 3

FYI Maria says Seguimos - Is more like I thought, Moving right along. Whereas Sigamos is more like asking, should we move along now?
