用法

  • 'why bother / there's no need' - a rhetorical question - 何必这么麻烦?(hébì zhème máfan?) why go to all this trouble?
  • Implies the effort/worry is unnecessary; softly discourages. 何必呢 (why bother, really).
  • Contrast 不必 (búbì, need not, plain statement); 何必 is the rhetorical, slightly reproachful 'what's the point'.
