we learned this in class last week, but its immersion teaching so theres no english translation, this is the first time i havent quite been able to figure out what it means
theyve also included different forms of this with different verbs, can anyone give a few examples of what these mean?

incomprehensible immersion is not helpful, please follow a textbook as you go, like genki 1
also, please learn to google. i LITERALLY pasted your 2 words into google and immediately got direct answers

We never use that unless in writing. It means ‘have to do something’ but the thing we say in conversation is actually ‘shinaito’, ‘shinakya ikenai’ it has different forms,
E.g. ‘ うわー、明日また早く起きないと’ or ‘これすぐやらないとまずいな’.
Also this is only for ‘I have to’. Japanese don’t really tell others ‘you have to do this’.
