زمینه فرهنگی

The 'German Goodbye' often starts with the word 'So!' and a slap on the knees. This is the non-verbal cue that 'Ich muss jetzt gehen' is coming. In Austria, people might use 'Bussis' (kisses) or a more melodic 'Wiederschauen' after saying they must leave. Swiss German speakers might say 'Ich mues jetzt go', which is the dialect version of the phrase. In German business, time is a resource. Leaving a meeting exactly when it's scheduled to end is seen as efficient, not rude.

No, it is neutral. To make it warmer, add 'leider' or a reason.

No, that sounds incomplete. You need at least 'Ich muss los' or 'Ich muss gehen'.

'Gehen' is the full verb 'to go'. 'Los' is an adverb meaning 'off/away'. 'Ich muss los' is more common in casual speech.

Use the Präteritum: 'Ich musste gehen'.

Yes, it is very common in office environments to signal the end of a conversation.

Because 'müssen' is a modal verb, and German grammar requires the second verb to move to the end.

It adds urgency. Without it, 'Ich muss gehen' sounds like a general statement of obligation.

You would say 'Ich muss jetzt ins Bett gehen'.

Wir müssen jetzt gehen.

Yes, 'Ich verpiss mich' is very rude slang, but 'Ich zisch ab' is milder.
