〜ないと
Reading: ないと
Meanings: must do (short for must)
Explanation
explanation
*ないと* is a **casual** short form of `ないといけない`, which means **must do**. You simply attach *と* after the `ない-form` of a verb.
explanation
Because it is a shortened expression, *ないと* sounds **informal** and is mainly used in everyday conversation. The full meaning — *if I don't do it, it's no good* — is implied.
