来 + verb to indicate future What does 来 mean in the following sentence? 今天我们来讨论一个问题 I tried to translate the sentence as follows: "Today we are going to talk about a topic/problem/question". Does 来 indicate future? Is there a difference to 要 (e.g. 今天我们要...)
Yes, you are correct that "来" means 'we are going to' in this scenario. To be honest, as a native Chineses speaker, I cannot tell the difference between "来” and ”要" here.
