Yes, this applies to all other pronouns. You can use "Надо нам..." when there is a necessity to do something, but you're not fond of it: "Надо нам и вилки, и ножи помыть, а так не хочется..." "We need to cleans both forks and knives, but ~(we don't want it so much)". "Так не хочется" is an impersonal construction, btw, and I couldn't think of a really good analog in English. :)

Hi! Please enlighten me regarding "нам" (what is this word grammarwise?) and why couldn't it be the personal pronoun "мы"? Regards from Madeira Island
