Proposing a leisure activity.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Walking is the default social activity. If a Russian friend asks you to 'gulyat', don't expect a specific destination. Expect to walk for 2 hours and talk about everything. During the 'White Nights' (June), 'Пойдём гулять' is often said at midnight because it's still light outside. Young people often use 'гулять' to mean 'hanging out' in a mall or a specific 'tusovka' (hangout spot). The 'Park of Culture and Rest' (Park Kultury) in every city was designed specifically for 'gulyanie'.
The 'Poshli' Shortcut
If you want to sound like a local, use 'Пошли гулять' (Poshli gulyat). It's technically past tense but everyone uses it as 'Let's go right now!'
Don't forget the 'ё'
Even if you see it written as 'Пойдем', always pronounce it 'Пойдём' (yo).

The 'Gulyat' Mindset
When a Russian says this, they aren't looking for a destination. They are looking for a conversation partner.
