Pop Chinese -- 必须的

必(bì)须(xū)的(de)

必(bì)须(xū) literally means “must”. For example,

e.g. 明天早上我必须去开会。
Míngtiān zǎoshàng wǒ bìxū qù kāihuì.
I must attend a meeting tomorrow morning.

必(bì)须(xū)的(de) is originally a colloquial phrase of northeast China and was widely spread. At present, this phrase is usually used to express affirmative tone and undisputed sense. It has become popular in daily life and is a catchword online.

Examples:
1. 这样做,必须的!
Zhèyàng zuò, bìxūde.
You must do like this.
2. A: 你一定要来我的生日聚会啊。
Nǐ yídìng yào lái wǒde shēngrì jùhuì a.
Please come to my birthday party.
B: 必须的!
Bì xū de
Of course!
