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!
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
