How to Say "I have to" in Russian Language

[@avq5]

Fedor, you are simply the best at explaining the most subtle nuances and differences between English and Russian. And how perceptive you are to notice that the word "must" is falling out of use. I myself, a native English speaker, never realized it until I heard it here.

[@vincentaurelius2390]

@Disappointed Englishman If they're still using "must" in England then Fedor had to be referring to American English when he said that it's "fading away". I don't understand your point.

[@ayszhang]

Must and have to simply has different pragmatic usages. They are both very much alive

[@richardvalvona1159]

I've noticed that a lot of people these days use "should" instead of "must". It's really bad English but it goes to show that people in England are always trying to find less aggressive ways of saying things.

You are a very good teacher, the best I have seen on INTERNET; you explain your language perfectly and you speak English fluently, which is very helpful. I am French, 60 years old and I learned Russian as a beginner in college. Your explanations remind me of that time. We had a very good teacher. I wil continue attending Russian courses with you, but I am a bit tired this afternoon. It is such a hard language. BYE FEDOR;

[@Katya_Lastochka]

In literal terms, "ya hochu" means "I want" and "mne hochetsya" is "I am wanting." The latter refers to satisfying a long term goal or desire, something that may take time.

We have a similarity in American Sign Language. In this language "should", and "need", are the same sign. Emphasis is placed with certain facial expressions that add grammar ("Non manual markers"). One of the cheremes (A phonetic equivelant to what's visual) can tend to also effect the use of "need" verses "should", with how the finger moves twice for "need" compared to one movement with "should". But as you explained - the two lexical items are almost synonymously expressed

Plus comme : « j’aimerais », justement cette formule est utilisée pour ne pas sonner trop égoïste du genre : moi je veux, moi je veux… (я хочу) mais paraître plus poli pour dire la même chose. Donc au lieu de dire : je veux du thé > я хочу чай, on dira : j’aimerais du thé > мне хочеться чай. Ce qui est beaucoup plus poli est aussi beaucoup plus utilisé par les russophones.

Have to is replacing must in sentences like "I have to say" but I dont think must is dying out in English any tine soon, partly because there is a world of difference between "you don't have to" and "you mustn't"! But in fact "have to" and "must" are different in many ways and have to is more "objective" and must more "subjective". The diference between must and have to seems to correspond very nicely to the Russian до́лжен the English must more personal from the stomach and обязаны have to,more of a rule. "You have to go to the doctor" "You must watch Star Wars" Have to and must are not the same in English and your excellent video shows that there is the same difference in the Russian language

[@jhroenigk]

As you and others in the comments have said, "must" and "have to + inf." have assumed different pragmatic functions. "Must" is used very sparingly these days but does appear in contexts where the completion of the task is your/someone else's absolute priority. EX: DAD: "You must have the driveway swept before I get home." SON: "Awww ..." BOSS: "We must ship out all of today's orders on the date of receipt. That's the level of customer service I intend to see this company retain. EMPLOYEE: "Yes, sir. I'll get right on it." Other than that I can only really come up with usages where it's being used in jest. EX: ME: "I must have pizza now!" I'll have a go at it as well! Mне надо спать в понедельник. Tебе сейчас нужна квартира. Нам нужна кровать. Вам нужны книги Ему нужен словарь Ей надо завтракать.

there are two (compound and simple) forms future tense in Russian. Compound forms are consisted of the auxiliary verb БЫТЬ (here it loses its lexical meaning) and imperfective infinitive and refers to prolonged, unfinished or repeated actions or event in the future. I will watch Fedor's video evere day = Я БУДУ смотреть видео Фёдора каждый день. I won't watch Fedor's video every day = Я НЕ БУДУ смотреть видео Фёдора каждый день. I will be watching TV for 2 hours = Я БУДУ смотреть телевизор в течение двух часов. Simple forms are used for describe actions that will be complited at a certain moment in the future or an action will be happened once in the future . We use only perfective verbs for it. I will text you tomorow = Я НАПИШУ тебе завтра. I won't text you tomorow = Я НЕ НАПИШУ тебе завтра. You will have watched a lot of Fedor's video before you can speak Russian fluently = Вы ПОСМОТРИТЕ много видео от Фёдора прежде чем сможете бегло говорить на русском. я будУ ты будЕШЬ он, она, оно будЕТ мы будЕМ вы будЕТЕ они будУТ

[@AKWoland]

Я не вполне соглашусь с классификацией should и must в русском языке. Там, где англоговорящие употребляют should, в русском языке часто может использоваться слово "должен". Граница между "должен" и "следует" у нас проходит иначе, чем в английском языке. Например, мы можем использовать "должен" если даем рекомендацию, например, "чтобы бросить курить, ты должен развивать силу воли", для русскоговорящего такая формулировка вполне нормальна. Но если мы будем переводить это предложение на английский, то мы должны использовать "should". Конечно, слово "следует" тут тоже можно использовать, но для неформальной речи оно не совсем подходит, кроме того, человек, будучи уверен, что "должен" == "must", услышав в русской речи в свой адрес это слово, может ошибочно заподозрить говорящего в бестактности или даже грубости. Кстати, из-за подобных ошибок русскоязычных людей, которые недостаточно глубоко знают английский и так пытаются говорить с иностранцами, как раз и появляется стереотип, что русские люди грубые и слишком прямолинейные, хотя это далеко не так.
