必要: You NEED to read this one

Introduction

Welcome to a nice and easy quick-bite lesson, all about needs. After all, we all need something... a scoop of ice cream, a pat on the back, a hug... somebody to love.

I'm not c-crying, there are onions being chopped near me (*sniffles*) or s-something!

必要ひつよう: What do you need?

The noun (and sometimes な-adjective) 必要ひつよう means "necessary", and it has two main patterns of use:

• 

  〜が必要ひつよう

• 

  〜必要ひつようがある

Let's take a look at them one by one! First up,

〜が必要ひつよう

Structure

• 

  Noun/nominalized verbが必要ひつよう
  Example:
  → アイスが必要ひつようだ。
  ”We need ice cream.”

This is probably the simplest of the two patterns, although they are both very easy.
