Why is "Es ist nötig." not correct here?

[wataya]

It's fine.

I'm wondering the same thing. "Es ist nötig" should be accepted.

[ahmadjudo]

Why "das ist notwendig" is wrong

[izygray]

es=it, das=this/that

[GeoSchribs]

"Notwendig" is a synonymous for "erforderlich", necessary to achieve something. "Nötig" is "unbedingt erforderlich", essential (for life).

[MSteck1190]

Is "Es ist wesentlich" wrong? I thought "wesentlich" and "notwendig" were synonyms...?

[Hugotang]

also wondering

[WarrenBrow3]

Why not "Er ist notwendig"? or "Sie ist notwendig"? If I know the gender of the subject, wouldn't I know the correct pronoun too? Reported.

[krisub]

What's wrong with "unbedingt"?

[Elendred]

It's not possible!
