We must follow the rules! (= moramo; obligation)
We have to study hard for the test tomorrow. (necessity)
We don't have to wear a uniform at school. (= ne moramo; not necessary)
You mustn't walk on the grass! (= ne smeš; prohibition)
May I use your phone, please? (permission)
I thought it might be a good idea. (possibility)
