    Negative - Так и надо : you are to blame - why removing pronoun? is it for the purpose of the song?

    Negative - так тебе и надо : it serves you right (similar meaning)

    Positive ? Так и надо идти : Way to go! Or is it patronizing? like this is the way to go son, you don't have a choice.

    Could I also use any other verbs like Так и надо говорить Так и надо влюбоваться Так и надо водить машину


    спрасибо!

    Так и надо ... - это вообще, идёт для всех. По-моему, чаще говорят: Вот так и надо ... . Используется в положительном контексте.
    Вот так и надо поступать/действовать в таких случаях.
    Вот так надо любить!,
    или Вот как надо любить!
    Вот так надо водить машину!, или Вот как надо водить машину!

    Когда добавляют местоимение, выражение становится негативным.
    Так тебе/вам/им и надо. = Вот так тебе/вам/им и надо. Нечего быть таким жадным/такими жадными! =
    You/they've deserved it, don't be so greedy.

    Basically так и надо means "this is the way it should be". So when somebody says that something negative happened to them and you reply "this is the way it should be'' I think it's easy to see why does it mean "it serves you right"

    But you can expand on the meaning of these words by adding a verb after them. For example:

    Так и надо жить - this is the way one should live
    Так и надо говорить - this is the way one should speak

    And plenty of other verbs. I think just about any word

    I hope this helps in any way

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
