Long explanation:
The '~아/어야 하다 [a/eoya hada]' endings refer to the necessity to do something or the feeling of obligation in a situation. This can also be used to express 'have to' or 'must' in English. It is also used in sentences to express compulsion imposed by situations or conditions. The verb stem is used with '아야 하다' for verbs that end in vowels and '어야 하다' for verbs that end in consonants.
