hey thanks i'll keep that in mind =)

Actually i was trying to figure out why are there so many ways to say Must. the guide told me that there are 9 ways to say Must (e.g. must eat):
1. 食べなくては駄目
2. 食べなくてはいけない (食べなくてはいけません)
3. 食べなくてはならない (食べなくてはなりません)
4. 食べないと駄目
5. 食べないといけない (食べないといけません)
6. 食べないとならない (食べないとなりません)
7. 食べなければ駄目
8. 食べなければいけない (食べなければいけません)
9. 食べなければならない (食べなけれなりません)

I was wondering what may be the difference between these, and/or which is more suitable for writing and talking to boss / talking to strangers / talking to friends / talking to younger siblings / talking to pet

also, i've realised (i think) that we couldn't do this:
食べなかったら駄目
食べなかったらいけない
食べなかったらならない
but why is it that these 3 are not allowed
