Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
1.must forma debole /məst/ forma forte /mʌst/ When must indicates obligation or necessity, Italian generally has dovere;
sometimes the impersonal form si deve or the impersonal construction bisogna + infinitive (or bisogna che + subjunctive) are used: I must go = devo andare, bisogna che vada; it must be done = lo si deve fare, bisogna farlo. For more examples and particular uses see 1 and 3 below. See also 1.have II 1 and the related usage note. - Must have + past participle can be translated by either the imperfect or the present indicative of Italian dovere: it must have been a nice place once = doveva essere un bel posto un tempo; somebody must have stolen it = qualcuno deve averlo rubato. - The negative form of must is either mustn’t, which indicates prohibition and should be translated by dovere, or needn’t, which indicates that there is no obligation and is generally translated by non c’è bisogno che: you mustn’t do it = non lo devi fare; you needn’t do it = non c’è bisogno che tu lo faccia. - For the conjugation of dovere, see the Italian verb tables. mod.
