Most advanced Chinese learners know how to express [[Auxiliary verb "yao" and its multiple meanings|"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 一定要 or 非要. Most time 非要 appears with a  self-willed emotional color while一定要 is just a expression of  "absolutely wanting " or "absolutely insist" without any emotional color.
 
 
 
== How to use 非要 ==
 
 
 
Just use 非要 like the auxiliary verb [[Auxiliary verb "yao" and its multiple meanings|要]]. Often use it coupled with 不可.
