+## ～込む
+
+~{込|こ}む has multiple meanings depending on the verb. Sometimes it is idiomatic and so it cannot exactly be guessed. However, there are some broad categories.
+
+⚠ Depending on the context, verbs can fall into multiple categories!
+
+### Going into
+
+* If the verb describes a movement, adding 込む add the meaning of "into" (jumping => jumping into).
+* If the verb already has a notion of "into", it put emphasis into it. It could have a meaning like "completely into".
+
+> [!info] Example
+> {海|うみ}に{飛|とび}び==込んだ==。
+> He jumped into the ocean.
+
+### Emphasis
+
+When the verb does not include physical movement, 込む can be used to put emphasis on certain verbs (deeply, a lot, etc).
+
+> [!info] Example
+> {猫|ねこ}が{眠|ねむ}り==込んでいます==。
+> The cat is fast asleep.
+
+### Repetition
+
+The last common meaning is for an action that is repeated until a point is reached. It can also be an action that is done for a long time.
+
+> [!info] Example
+> {毎朝|まいあさ}5キロ{走|かし}り==込む==。
+> Every morning I go for a 5km run (emphasis on the fact that it is a long run).

+
+## Comparing いけない and ならない
+
+* ==いけない== is the standardly used form. It implies a subjective view, that it would be better to do something, to avoid negative consequences (eg: brushing one's teeth, eating well, etc).
+* ==ならない== is usually more formal or in written form. It implies a is more objective view, something that has to be done because there's no other way (eg: respecting the law, paying taxes, etc).
+
+## Comparing なくては, なければ and ないと
+
+なくては and なければ are generally interchangeable in speech. However:
+* ==なくては== is generally used when there is _no penalty_ for not complying.
+* ==なければ== is generally used when there _is a penalty_ for not complying.
+* ==ないと== is lighter and does not imply that there can or cannot be penalty. Its construction is based on the [[Conditional#と]] particle, and should be based on knowledge or experience.

-* ==なくては== is generally used when there is _no penalty_ for not complying.
