if someone asks me if I need a кулочик (sp?) or пакет in the grocery store, can I just answer "нужен" ?

People do say things like that sometimes, but technically it's wrong.[/quote]

ah, perhaps that explains why I get confused :)

I don't know, I'm pretty sure people have been asking me (at least sometimes) if I need plastic bags using надо, although I could be wrong about that... (since my memory pretty much sucks)

ok, makes sense... thanks.

Hi, can someone please explain the difference between нужен, надо, нужно?

I never know exactly which to use when I say things like:

- I need / I don't need / do you need?

- It is not...
