Idiomatic Hindi of the most basic kind.

Quick question. There's a word that pops up *everywhere* which seems to mean 'Come on,' or 'Let's go.' I can't find it either in the dictionary or in Google translate, either by meaning or by attempted transliteration. It sounds like "Jalo."

Someone tell me what this actually is?

Many thanks.

Chalo. Imperative "tum" form of the verb chalna, which means "to go" or "to move" although it's not the main word used when you want to say "go."

Chalna, written as चलना?
