Short explanation : No equivalent in English (or I don't know it). It expresses a necessity or a wish.

Long explanation : "Falloir" is a verb that means "to be necessary". It can be only used with the pronoun "Il" (= "he" in English. Conjugated, it gives "Il faut") and it express a necessity or a wish. A sentence with "Il faut" can be translated as "must" or "need", but the form of the sentence will be different.

Example :

"Il faut qu'il aille à l'école" means "He must go to school" but literally translates as "It is necessary that he go to school."

"Il faut" is sometimes orally used without the pronoun "il", but the meaning stays the same.
