Signification
Suggesting a joint activity.
Contexte culturel
Slovaks value 'spoločnosť' (company). It is common to wait for others so you can walk together, even if it takes a few extra minutes. In the mountains, 'Poďme spolu' is a safety rule. You never leave a slower member of the group behind. The phrase is immortalized in the song 'Poďme spolu lietať', which is a staple at weddings and celebrations. When visiting someone, the host might use 'Poďme spolu' to lead you to the dining room, emphasizing that you are a guest of honor.
Softening the Command
Add 'prosím' (please) or 'však' (right?) to make it even friendlier: 'Poďme spolu, však?'
The Soft 'ď'
If you pronounce 'Poďme' with a hard 'd', it sounds like 'Podme' (which isn't a word). Keep it soft!
