Should/Must はず

You should know はず. It is easy and useful, therefore you have no excuse :)

Hazu shows an expectation that something should happen. In other words, you are pretty sure something is true. Let`s see how it works...

To add はず to any adjective just add it...

そのかばんは、高いはずです。
sono kaban wa, takai hazu desu.
That bag must be expensive.
[It is expected to be expensive]

Just add it to the simple form of any verb

あなたは、ゴジラを知っているはずです。
anata wa, gojira o shitteiru hazu desu.
You should/must know Godzilla.

  • 09:38:23 Anyone care to provide some furigana on the kanji in the poll so I can translate and vote?
  • 10:22:16 Sorry the poll really was just for admins during the test period. The first choice means 'Passes' and the second means 'Start over from square one'
  • 10:23:03 We'll change the poll probably tomorrow. Still ironing out bigger bugs before polishing things.
