Let’s?

Is there a Somali equivalent to using “let’s” in a sentence? I know you can say “waan karnaa” or “waan ___i doonnaa” but can you say “let’s ____” in Somali?

Examples of how it is used in English for context:

Let’s check out that new restaurant tomorrow.
Let’s leave it at that.
Let’s talk.
Let’s eat.
Let’s just say it’s five dollars.
Let’s call it a night.
