Talk:let

This article should also include a definition of the way "let" is used for what is sometimes called the 1st person plural imperative: "let's go". I'm not sure if it would be classed as an auxiliary verb in this sense. — Hippietrail 08:02, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

let there be peace (leave unchanged)

This sense should be described too. It is often described with other parts of speech in other languages. --Anatoli 23:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Examples: пусть (ru), niech (pl) (particles). --Anatoli 23:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

And also Bulgarian, OCS, Macedonian, Russian and Serbo-Croatian да. Maro 23:46, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Leave

Is the sense in "let me alone", non-standard? In this in the language arts section, question 27 poses it as wrong.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 19:12, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't know if it's wrong per se, but the better option is the one using "leave". It comes down to which is the better choice rather than the right choice. Leasnam (talk) 19:22, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

It is somewhat archaic. Rich Farmbrough, 10:47, 15 November 2018 (UTC).

Let x = y

The mathematical form should be covered, and the computing form. Thence also the unusual "unlet". Rich Farmbrough, 10:47, 15 November 2018 (UTC).

“Let me go to the store” (not implying any preventer).

What is “Let me go to the store” other than a command (that is, not implying any preventer)? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:00, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

let fall, let drop

to mention something in a conversation, by accident or as if by accident: She let fall a further heavy hint.--Backinstadiums (talk) 09:57, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Used to introduce an imperative in the first or third person

This definition is contradictory with the usage note, which reads

“Let me go to the store” could be a second-person imperative of “let” (addressing someone who might prevent the speaker from going to the store) --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:43, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
