Etymology
root Notes
This meaning is ergative, translated in transitive sentences as 'need sth. or so.', and 'be needed (to do)' in intransitive sentences. In intransitive sentences gerunds are, like with other syntactically similarly working words such as 'memo' or 'saiho', introduced by 'tine' (into, inside).
It can also be used as auxiliary, both in transitive (then translated as 'need (so.) to do sth.') and intransitive sentences (then translated as 'be needed to do' or 'need to do' depending on context).
