  • necesse esse → absolute necessity
  • debere → moral (or financial?) necessity
  • oportet → it's rational to do so, you can not think different
  • opus est → It is useful/beneficial.
  • decet → it is seemly (a matter of decency)
  • iuberi/cogi → To be ordered/commanded/decreed/appointed.

Also, the gerundive may be used:

The Gerundive [...] is always passive, denoting necessity, obligation, or propriety

Also, the gen. + est:

  • meum est → I have to do, its my duty
  • tuum est → You have to do, its your duty
  • gen. + est → someone has to do, its someones duty
