The volitional form indicates the speaker's will to do something.
Examples
1. lkimasu.
"Someone* goes." or " Someone* will go."
2. Ikimashoo.
"Let's go." or "I will go."
3. lkimashoo ka.
"Shall we go?" or "Shall I go?"
(*"Someone" may be the speaker.)
In the example above, ikimasu shows a habitual action or a future action of an actor. Ikimashoo shows the will of more than two persons including the speaker's
willingness to do something for other persons in the group.
