Why don't you 〜

(勧誘)
Why don't you come and play baseball with us.  play chess/play monopoly


(類似表現)
Do you want to go and get some pizza?
We could go see a movie.
You can come watch the game here.


※注意点
①Why don't you go see a movie?
②Why don't we go see a movie?
③Why don't you come see a movie?
映画に誘っている表現だが①は貴方が1人で映画に行ったら?という意味になり、
一般会話ではrudeになるのでWhy don't you goの表現は避けたほうが無難だ。
