As a matter of fact, when I read 'arHa's original post, I thought of
commenting on this one but I didn't, because I wasn't 100% sure.
ghunchu'wI''s comment verifies my understanding of {-jaj} ; it is to
be used only in a manner of expressing a wish whether this is a
stand-alone wish, or it is a wish spoken during a toast.
I don't think {-jaj} can be used in order to express "are we allowed
to (whatever) or are we able to (whatever)".</pre>

<p>The English original <i>is</i> expressing a wish: "I wish for us
to stop." It is not talking about being able or permitted to do
something. <b>mamevjaj</b> <i>I wish for us to stop; let's stop.</i><br>
