Hablemos- Let's talk

Hablémonos- Let's talk to each other.

Comamos- Let's eat.

Comámonos- Let's eat one another. (LOL)

Escribamos.- Let's write.

Escribámonos- Let's write to each other.


Hablemos is the verb hablar.

Hablémonos is the verb hablarse.

How about "vistámonos" (Let's get dressed")

Sentémonos aquí. (Let's sit down here.)

Acostémonos ahora. (Lets' go to bed now)

There are probably a bunch more, but that's all I can think of now.

If you look at the RAE verb conjugation chart, you will see that there is no imperative conjugation for nosotros.

The only common so called "nosotros imperative" is for ir - vamonos, although most of the time simply vamos is used for the same tense.

I have never heard hablémonos used, although in Mexico we sometimes create words or funny conjugations to be playful, ie: At dinner we would say ¡Comámonos pues!

Yea, I had never seen it either, so that is why I asked lol. Thanks. - Spurnish, May 10, 2017
This is one reason why I don't rely on the RAE. SD does give the Nosotros imperative form for all the verbs it deal with. - Daniela2041, May 11, 2017

Nos hablemos pronto is wrong. I don't know exactly why.Sorry K...... - polenta1, May 10, 2017
Interesting. Nos vemos pronto is fine though, right? - DilKen, May 10, 2017
Maybe it is because talking with someone normally takes the preposition con - DilKen, May 10, 2017
Or maybe it's because there is a perfectly good reciprocal verb for this :) - DilKen, May 10, 2017
