repetition of meanings
editExpressing obligation. I can't go out tonight, I've got to study for my exams. (Southern US, with to) must; have (to). I got to go study.
Aren't these two meanings the same? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- They sure look very similar to me... Additionally, I don't think that the 2nd one there is confined to the Southern US... – Guitarmankev1 (talk) 17:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- "I got to" (meaning "must") is not standard though. I've changed it to indicate the standard requirement for "have got". Equinox ◑ 17:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
