電気を消しましょう

An important message for saving the planet and for saving money on your electricity bill.


電気 (でんき) - Lights, Electricity

を - Noun to verb connecting particle

消しましょう (けしましょう) - Turn off, Erase

Translation: Let's turn off the lights!


The verb ending ~ましょう along with the です form でしょう are a Probability or Let's verb form used to advocate for a preferred action or agreement on a subject that could translate to right? or isn't it?


例:

カーフェに行きましょう。Let's go to a cafe.

そのテレビ番号は面白いでしょう。That TV show is interesting isn't it?


And many times you will hear people say でしょう? during a conversation to show interest and agreement in what is being said.


So the next 日本会話 you have, give it a go and watch your 友達の顔 light up with excitement.


じゃ、また。


ジョシュア
