Can someone please help explain the difference....

[meilin]

Hi I was wondering if someone could explain the difference to me between:

得， 要， 必须 and 必需？

and does anyone else know any other words meaning "must" that are used in mandarin Chinese?

thx!

得- need

要- want

必须- must

must nad need sometimes comes cloase depending on how u use it.

another word is 需要. can be used for both must and need

必需 is not an aux. verb but an adjective. It means "necessary". e.g.

必需品

得 and 必须 can both mean "must". e.g.

我得走了。

我必须走了。

The two sentences are basically the same. The former is more casual, thus is used more in speaking.

要 simply means "will" or "going to". No "must" involved. e.g.

我要走了。

I'm going to go.

As mentioned, 要means "want" or "will". 需要 can also mean "need".

得， 要， 必须 and 必需？

let me give you some examples!

必需and 必须just have one different word,but they have different meaning

you must go now:你现在必须走(some thing you must do!it's about action)

this is what you need：这是你必需的（some thing you really need,it's about your need）

i have to leave now:我现在要走了（used in this situation means the same to 必须，something you have to do!）

i want that book：我要那本书（about something you want or wish to do）

i should do this:我得这么做（something you think its necessary to do.）

do i explain it clearly?
