Should with 应该

Structure Subject + 应该 + Verb

应该 (yīnggāi) is "should / ought to", for advice or a reasonable obligation: 你应该多休息 = "you should rest more". Negate with 不应该 ("shouldn’t"). It’s often shortened to 该. It expresses what’s right or expected, without the force of a command.

Examples

你nǐ应yīng该gāi多duō休xiū息xi。
You should rest more.
我wǒ们men应yīng该gāi帮bāng助zhù他tā。
We should help him.
你nǐ不bù应yīng该gāi迟chí到dào。
You shouldn’t be late.
