More than half of the links found in such a search say that there is no significant difference in how they are used in English. Many of those still go on to talk about a supposed subtle difference. I don't find the distinction they are making to be very meaningful
and it doesn't really match how I differentiate them. Spanish also has a few different options for this kind of expression and I found similar disagreement and minimization in the Spanish discussions. Those searches have not helped me understand what the
difference might be in Klingon.</p>

<p>> Wait, there's one last element: <i>need</i> implies a kind of personal</p>

<p>So then the line is drawn at the outside edge of my own physiology and psychology? That would be convenient, but I certainly think many of Andr<span>é's examples and both of Alan's examples contradict that. I wonder if instead it is similar to the language/non-language
issue. There would be no hard fast line, but the way you use it might give us a window into your thinking. By using {-nIS} perhaps some amount of personal investment is implied in the need/requirement and by using one of the "required/forced" verbs perhaps you
are removing the individuals own desires/needs/fears from the sentence and making it more cold and impersonal.</span></p>
