Suggesting to leave or start.
Contexto cultural
Hosts will often insist you stay longer when you say 'Chala Jauya'. It is a polite tug-of-war. In the Sahyadri mountains, 'Chala' is used as a rhythmic chant to keep hikers motivated. The first 'Chala Jauya' is rarely the final one. It's an introductory signal for a departure that might take 20 more minutes. In Mumbai locals or buses, people use a variation to ask if the person in front is getting off at the next station.
The Magic Suffix
Learn the '-ūyā' suffix. You can attach it to any verb root to say 'Let's...'. (e.g., Basūyā = Let's sit).
Don't be too blunt
If you say it too loudly or suddenly, it might seem like you are bored. Soften it with 'Ata' (Now) or 'Mag' (Then).
