| The Phrase "(to) have to" is just another Way of saying "must". The Phrase "(to) need to" refers to Actions that are required for other Things, e.g.: "I need Food to survive." vs. "I have to eat Food to survive". The former Example points out a Necessity that needs to be done, the later Example points out an Obligation which has to/must be done. There are only slight Nuances between the two of them, depending on what you want to highlight: that it's a Necessity or that it's an Obligation.

| "I need to" and "I have to" are interchangeable. "I have to" is really just a shorter version of "I have a need to", so "I need to" is more correct. However, a sense of urgency generally accompanies the word "need", and so if you are not trying to convey a sense of urgency, but that it is something you want to take care of sooner rather than later, then you would use "I have to" instead of "I need to". Most Americans say "poop". |

Thrashinuva said: No, they aren't interchangeable, because they describe slightly different Things. Besides, you're wrong about "have to":"I need to" and "I have to" are interchangeable. "I have to" is really just a shorter version of "I have a need to", so "I need to" is more correct. Have (got) to is used to refer to obligations which come from outside the speaker https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/have-got-to-and-have-to https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/quick-grammar/modals-1 AnimeAdamOP said: "have to" sounds the most natural for me, too.Acceptable ways to say it: I have to/gotta take a shit I have to poop.

| @Noboru Am I wrong in thinking that English is not your first language? Whether or not that's true, what we're talking about in this topic is American English, not British English. Yes they can be incredibly different at times. In American English, "got" is entirely a possessive term. "I have got" is entirely unnatural, as it is redundant. The only difference between "I have" vs. "I got" is that "got" is the same as "acquired", meaning you didn't have it at one point, and you might not have it anymore. Even in slang, "I got this" means "I have this" or "I'm going to take care of this situation" And when you combine the two terms, elongated it becomes "I have this thing that I acquired", cutting off "that I might not have anymore" since you have already stated that you have it. If you were to reason out the sentence like that, then someone could understand that you have something that you didn't previously have. However, no one actually says this, and no one will understand it this way, they'll merely understand it as "you have it". Going further, in American English, "have" is entirely possessive. "I have feelings". "I have hair"."I have friends". It doesn't in any way dictate needs or obligations. When you combine it with "to", then that changes. "I have to do this" means "I possess a need to perform this action". Yes, the "need" is implied when you combine it with "to". Generally all American's understand it this way, however many will simply think you're exaggerating, such as "I need to hug someone". Essentially they may understand it as a strong desire, rather than a legitimate need. This is simply doubt we have towards each other, and isn't particularly reflective of the core meaning of the statement by itself. In American English, "I have got to" is redundant and improper English. Your English teacher would likely take off points from your essay if you wrote that, if they were strict anyways. And with that explanation, I already went over this, but the "need" is implied with "I have to", which is why it's interchangeable with "I need to". |
| @Thrashinuva: "I've got to" is just informal, oral Usage. You can only use it in Simple Present, unlike "I have to". As you already mentioned, "I have got to" is redundant. The "got" is pretty much used just as a Filler Word, anyway. "I got this" is just a Shortening of "I've got this". You're over-complicating Things. No one thinks literally that they have recieved/obtained/acquired a Thing when they say "I've got this". Also, "I've got this" can be also used to express that you've understood something, though it would be better to use "it". We have been talking about "have (got) to" the whole Time, so what "have" alone means is irrelevant. "I need to hug someone" isn't a good Example for this Thread. Consider "I have to go to the Toilet" vs. "I need to go to the Toilet". Both Sentences are much closer to what the Thread Creator had in Mind. They are similar, but not the same Thing. The Difference is only subtle in this Case, though. |
Noboru said: AKA 'slang'."I've got to" is just informal Noboru said: I directly addressed this. I described the actual meaning of the phrase. You've even now agreed that it's just redundant filler. "I have got this" is the same thing as "I've got this". Just because it sounds better in your head doesn't mean it's any less redundant or any less filler. It only feels more correct because "I've this" is immediately incorrect, so it feels you've fixed the sentence by adding "got", but you simply shouldn't pair the two to begin with. If you do, it's not the end of the world, and people will understand what you mean, but it hardly qualifies as a good answer to the OP's question when there exists two much better answers that are also structurally correct.No one thinks literally that they have recieved/obtained/acquired a Thing when they say "I've got this". Noboru said: It's extremely relevant. English words are all concepts that when combined are refined into a more encompassing overall concept. You greatly have a deeper understanding of "have to" by understanding what "have" means.what "have" alone means is irrelevant Noboru said: This was an example for you, so that I could thoroughly explain it to you."I need to hug someone" isn't a good Example for this Thread. Noboru said: Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I mentioned those two as the ideal answers, so I'm not sure why you're telling me that they're the best answers. I described them as identical in meaning, but slightly different in practical use. So far your argument is that they're not identical because they are different, but you haven't really elaborated on why they're different. Is it any different from what I already laid out, that their practical usage is slightly different?Consider "I have to go to the Toilet" vs. "I need to go to the Toilet". Both Sentences are much closer to what the Thread Creator had in Mind. They are similar, but not the same Thing. The Difference is only subtle in this Case, though. |
Thrashinuva said: You cannot shorten "have" if you use it as "have got". "I have this" means the same as "I have got this" or "I've got this". "I have got this" is the same thing as "I've got this". Just because it sounds better in your head doesn't mean it's any less redundant or any less filler. It only feels more correct because "I've this" is immediately incorrect, so it feels you've fixed the sentence by adding "got", but you simply shouldn't pair the two to begin with. Thrashinuva said: Alright, then feel free to explain the "deeper understanding" of "must not". Surely it has to do with "must", right?It's extremely relevant. English words are all concepts that when combined are refined into a more encompassing overall concept. You greatly have a deeper understanding of "have to" by understanding what "have" means. So far your argument is that they're not identical because they are different, but you haven't really elaborated on why they're different. They are equal, but not identical, which means, they can be applied to the same Situation, but they have a slightly different Nuance."I need to go to the Toilet" stresses the Necessity to go to the Toilet, while "I have to go to the Toilet" stresses the Fact that I have no other Choice but to go to the Toilet. In the latter Case, the Stress is more on "I must go to the Toilet", while this isn't as strongly for the former Case. |
| No the correct saying is "I need to use the washroom." The whole "Take a poo" comes from "I need to take a break". Where a long time ago the only break you got was when you went to the washroom. So the whole "I need to take a poo" is basically a gutter way of saying your taking a break and going the washroom. |
