Is there one that’s more commonly used? Obliged or obligated? I mean with the meaning to be forced to do something.
- English (US)
Yes, but I feel obliged to tell you that obliged also means "to feel you owe someone something". In my personal opinion, always use "obligated" rather than "obliged". To me, "obliged" sounds outdated. But that may be regional, or even just my personal preference.
