Most advanced Chinese learners know how to express "wanting to do something" with 要, but sometimes you need to turn it up a degree and express "absolutely insist on doing something". In that case, you can use 非要.
Structure
Just use 非要 like the auxiliary verb 要. Use it coupled with another verb.
Subject + 非要 + Verb
非要 could be thought of as "absolutely wanting " or "absolutely insist" on doing something. It can be thought of as the short form of 非常想要.
Examples
- 您 是 我们 的 客人，我 非要 帮 您 带 您 的 行李 上 去。
- 李 先生 觉得 不 好 意思，他 非要 向 他们 道歉。
- 她 非要 一 边 吃 饭 一 边 看 漫画。
