Il faut que j’aille aux toilettes !

Just curious. Would a french person use Il faut que j’aille aux toilettes. or J’ai besoin d'aller aux toilettes. Using il faut que seems a little strange to this Anglo. ;-)

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate aller in the subjunctive present in French (Le Subjonctif Présent)"

Hi White,

I am afraid you will hear French people say -

Il faut que j'aille aux toilettes

or even

j'ai besoin d'aller aux toilettes

for a more urgent need...

Most would probably say, j'ai envie d'aller aux toilettes.
