Additional definitions?

Can't this also mean "must"? If so, isn't that a fairly serious omission from the current definitions? 71.66.97.228 11:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Is the usage of 非 to mean "must" or "have to" still colloquial if it appears in this meaning in classical poems from the Tang Dynasty (such as "采茶非采菉" by Huangfu Ran)? 173.89.236.187 06:21, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

It does not mean "must" or "have to" in "采茶非采菉". Wyang (talk) 08:03, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
