Hi guys, I have a grammar questions that my book doesn't cover. (I am a beginner)
The book teaches a construct for saying you have to do something, but what if you have to BE something, like a noun or an adjective?
This seems to work with i-adjectives, but not with nouns: (counting google hits, hehe)
楽しくなくちゃいけない seems ok?
元気じゃあなくちゃいけない these are not ok...?
学生じゃあなくちゃいけない
