When should one use понадобиться as opposed to just надо?

Comments

эта вещь понадобится == this thing should be useful
понадобиться sounds a bit optional

[ex-qnn171.livejournal.com]

i mean, надо means one should do something right now and понадобиться means he'll have to do it in future

gnn is pretty much correct:

надо = must or have to do something. No options offered;
понадобиться = might have a need for something. Normally used as "может понадобиться";

[oryx_and_crake]

надо is normally used with a verb
e.g. мне надо убрать квартиру (I have to clean my apartment)

понадобится is normally used with a noun

для уборки квартиры мне понадобится швабра и ведро (for cleaning my apartment, I will need a mop and a bucket).

"Понадобиться" is often used as perfective form of "надо". So the difference is like between perfective and imperfective verbs.

Hmmm... you know, as for me, I think I almost never use the word понадобиться. I am not sure why, maybe because it's so long. I use "надо" or "нужен". Like
"мне надо (нужно) убрать квартиру - I have to clean the apartment
AND
для уборки квартиры мне нужна (будет) швабра - I (will) need a mop for cleaning my apartment.

So "понадобиться" is not a verb you can't live without.

Does this verb work like нравиться, which declines with the object? As in «мне ты не нравишься» ("I don't like you")?

[oryx_and_crake]

It's the nouns that get declined. The verb here is conjugated to agree with the subject ("ты").

And понадобиться is indeed conjugated when used with a noun or a pronoun. But not when used with a verb. Compare:

Ты мне понадобишься завтра, чтобы передвинуть шкаф в моей комнате.
I will need you tomorrow to move a cupboard in my room.

Завтра мне понадобится передвинуть шкаф.

[ya-stranen.livejournal.com]

Woops, I meant to say conjugate. But what I was trying to ask you answered anyway. What I was referring to was how in English the subject changes from "ты" to "I".

Easy

[pretol.livejournal.com]

понадобиться -FUTURE TENSE (trans. -"will need")
надо -PRESENT TENSE (trans. - "need")

Not that easy

[oryx_and_crake]

you can use "надо будет" for future tense.

So, one still has to explain what is the difference between надо будет and понадобится.

It still breaks down very easy.

[pretol.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to go into that much detail.
Here's a more detailed approach.

понадобиться - future PROGRESSIVE tense (trans. -"will BE needing")
надо - present tense (trans. - "need")


надо будет (which is really a different phrase) - future tense non-progressive, expecting a verb. (trans. - "will need to").

p.s.
"надо" - must (not "need")
"нужно"- need
They're used interchangeably (with different emphasis) as they are in english.
