In Chinese, 要 (yào) has many meanings, one of which is &quot;need to.&quot; However, when you want to express &quot;don't need to&quot;, you actually use 不用 (bùyòng), not 不要 (bùyào).

== <span id="Colloquial_Saying" class="mw-headline">Colloquial Saying</span> ==

In spoken Chinese, the rhetorical question, &quot;这还用说(吗)?&quot;, indicates the speaker believes that the statement is obvious. It is equivalent to the speaker saying, &quot;is that seriously a question?&quot; or &quot;do you really need to ask?&quot; Often, &quot;这还用说(吗)?&quot; is said in an impatient tone of voice.
