Togamaid oirnn ma–thà!

Let's go, then!

At the end of that conversation we saw an expression in the modh àithneach (imperative mood): Togamaid oirnn ma–thà! (Let’s get going then!)

We learned this structure in B1 Cuspair 16.

But what is am modh àithneach (the imperative mood)?

Well, it’s a kind of order, but in a more polite way.
