Usage notes

  • Grammatically, this term is an adjective that has only short forms, but it is best translated as a verb, either ought to/must/have (has) to if followed by an infinitive, or owe(s) if followed by a direct and indirect object.
  • In modern Russian, the full infinitive form долженствова́ть (dolženstvovátʹ, literally to be required to/to be obliged to) is seldom used.
