Obligation in Turkish
What is the difference between these structures?which one is more common in daily conversations and which one os more common in written?

1- Ben gitmem gerekiyor
2- Ben gitmem gerek
3-Ben gitmeliyim
4- Benim gitmem lazım
5-Ben gitmeye mecburum
6- gitmek zorundayım

Answer

I need to go:
1- Benim gitmem gerekiyor
2- Benim gitmem gerek
4- Benim gitmem lazım

I must go:
3-Ben gitmeliyim

I am obliged to go:
5-Ben gitmeye mecburum

I have to go
6-Ben gitmek zorundayım

In daily conversation the most commonly used ones are;
(Benim) Gitmem lazım : I need to go
(Ben)  Gitmek zorundayım:  I have to go

As for the written language (I assume you mean formal language)
(Ben) gitmek durumundayım :  I need to go
(Ben) gitmek zorundayım :  I have to go

Answer

1 and 2 are false. You can use the others. If I'm not wrong 
3= I should go 
4= I need to go
5 and 6 = I have to go
