"अब मुझे जाना चाहिए।"

Translation: I should go now.

[OwenBH]

Why is, "I want to go now" wrong?

[vinay92]

While the verb चाहना usually means 'want', the form चाहिए is special because it indicates modality ('should'/'need to') when used with a verb.
You would write 'I want to go now' as "मैं अब जाना चाहता हूँ"

[RajSahae]

With that being the case what would "I need to go now" be?

[apubhadaram]

Still the same as "अब मुझे जाना चाहिए". It kinda mean "I must go now," and need and must are synonymous to each other.

[Tomerji]

Can someone respond to this? In previous lessons "chahiye" was used to express need, or want, and now all of the sudden it has changed.

[OwenBH]

You are right but I am not sure anyone is listening. I did this course a while back and was disappointed just how unresponsive the creators were.

[soobee620]

Yes, I am about finished with the course and no one has ever replied to even one of my comments/questions.

@OwenBH
I want to go now will mean "mera abhi jaane ka man he" so that's why we can't use this sentence.

[salaam123]

What would be "I have to go now"?

[vinay92]

You can say 'मुझे अब जाना है'

[AlexKarampas]

What is the vowel that is pronounced between now and I? Is it at 'u'?

[vinay92]

There is no vowel. अब has a consonant ending. What you hear is just an artefact of the computer voice.

Why is mujhe used here? Why cant we use mein?

@Maheshwara19
'Mein' won't be gramatically correct (sorry i am bad at explaining)
