Usage notes
[edit]- Sollen expresses moral duty or the suggestion that something ought to be done. Müssen can express the necessity of doing something, but also the moral duty. Both verbs can express a duty imposed by someone else. In this case müssen is stronger than sollen, implying that the imposing person has some kind of power to make the other really do it.
- The following infinitive can be dropped if the meaning is clear from the situation. This is especially true with tun.
- Was soll ich heute? ― What should I do today?
