The problem here is differentiating "suppose" and "supposed to".
Yes, "supposed" is the past tense form of the verb "suppose", but it is primarily used as an adjective and used as "supposed to".
When used as an adjective it doesn't follow the rules of a verb.
When used as an adjective and spelled "supposed to", it always goes with a form of the verb "be".

Do we suppose to know her වරදිඔ වෙන්නේ කොහොමද? 'Do" Auxiliary verb එකක් විදියට පාවිච්චි කරලා තියෙන්නේ?
folks here can argue and tell different stories, there is truth in all those arguments, but I stated the grammar law. however, it is true that the application of that rule might occasionally cause issues.
uba oya kiyana eke tiyenne wenama therumak saha wenama bhawithawak
do you suppose we should
oba hethanawada api kala youthui
are you supposed to ..(verb)

Because "supposed to" here is an adjective, not a verb

When to Use Supposed
What does supposed mean? Supposed vs. suppose can be confusing because the past tense of suppose is supposed, which is the same spelling of the adjective supposed. This leads to confusion between the verb and the adjective uses.
As we discussed above, suppose has a variety of meanings, assume something to be the case, used to make a reluctant admission, etc. Those same meanings can be used in either the present tense (I/you suppose, he/she supposes) or the past tense (I/you/he supposed).
- She supposed her partners were right, but now what?
- He supposed the customer to be 19 years of age.
The first meaning of the adjective supposed (pronounced suh-po-zed) is generally assumed or presumed to be case, but not necessarily so.
- Your supposed friend might be your primary enemy.
- After the initial investigation, the supposed criminal was shown to be innocent.
- He admired his supposed business acumen.
The second meaning of the adjective supposed (pronounced suh-post) is to indicate something that is intended, required, permitted, expected. For example,
- This medication is supposed to relieve minor headaches. (Intended)
- Soldiers are supposed to follow the orders of their commanders. (Required)
- We are not supposed to pass notes in class. (Permitted)
- We are supposed to go the party. (Expected)
Suppose to vs. Supposed to
Is it suppose to or supposed to? As discussed in the section above, when you wish to say you are required or obliged to do something, you want to use supposed to, not suppose to.
- I’m not supposed to eat cookies before dinner. (Correct)
- I’m not suppose to eat cookies before dinner. (Wrong)

In other words, suppose and verb are shorter than supposed and adjective.
Supposed also has a “D” at the end of it, which can signal its primary use as an Adjective, which also has a “D” in it.
If you can think of a better trick to tell them apart, tweet at me and let me know @Writing_Class.

As we discussed above, suppose has a variety of meanings, assume something to be the case, used to make a reluctant admission, etc. Those same meanings can be used in either the present tense (I/you suppose, he/she supposes) or the past tense (I/you/he supposed).
The primary use of supposed, however, is the adjectival form, which has two primary meanings.
- She supposed her partners were right, but now what?
- He supposed the customer to be 19 years of age.
The first meaning of the adjective supposed (pronounced suh-po-zed) is generally assumed or presumed to be case, but not necessarily so.
As you can clearly see, supposed is acting as an adjective in this form. In every sentence above, it precedes a noun. That’s a classic indicator that something is acting as an adjective.
- Your supposed friend might be your primary enemy.
- After the initial investigation, the supposed criminal was shown to be innocent.
- He admired his supposed business acumen.
The second meaning of the adjective supposed (pronounced suh-post) is to indicate something that is intended, required, permitted, expected. For example,
This second meaning of supposed is the most commonly used form by far.
- This medication is supposed to relieve minor headaches. (Intended)
- Soldiers are supposed to follow the orders of their commanders. (Required)
- We are not supposed to pass notes in class. (Permitted)

Suppose to vs. Supposed to
Is it suppose to or supposed to? As discussed in the section above, when you wish to say you are required or obliged to do something, you want to use supposed to, not suppose to.
Using suppose to when you mean supposed to is an increasingly frequent error, but one that is widely shunned.
- I’m not supposed to eat cookies before dinner. (Correct)
- I’m not suppose to eat cookies before dinner. (Wrong)

Well actually no. What you are saying is
do you suppose we must do ...
Both 'be supposed to' and 'do noun suppose ...' are suggestions.
But I have never seen 'do noun suppose to' combination.
Well I don't know. Stick with what is natural to you.
For me, the natural way is 'be supposed to'. But sometimes 'do noun suppose ...' comes out of nowhere.
