hay que vs se tiene que
“Hay que”:
Impersonal: It doesn’t refer to a specific person, just a general need or obligation.
Example: Hay que llegar temprano. (“It’s necessary to arrive early.”)
Used in general advice or rules.
"Se tiene que":
More specific or personal: Refers to something that has to be done, and it might be implied who needs to do it.
Example: Se tiene que hablar con el jefe. ("Someone has to speak with the boss.")
It can sometimes imply "you," "we," or "they" depending on context.
In conversation:
Use "hay que" when giving general advice or stating universal truths.
Use "se tiene que" when the obligation is more specific or understood to apply to someone.
faltar for distance
