# Possibility: no choice
## しかない
Means "have no choice but".
Used with verbs in dictionary form.

> I guess I have no choice but to read to manual.
## よりほかない・にほかならない

<div class="">
<p><span class="box">V</span></p>

<p class="r">+ よりほかない</p>
</div>
<div class="usage">
<div class="">
<p><span class="box">N</span></p>
