extrañado is the past participle of extrañar and it means surprised.

  • "Extrañado" means to be missed/have missed.

To be surprised is said as "sorprendido" (So it's the incorrect word to use)

The word "Extraño" could mean to be "strange/weird" OR the present tense for "to miss"

Examples:

"Yo te había extrañado tanto, Milena!"
(I've missed you so much, Milena!)

"Sera sierto que sere extrañado por mis amigos cuando me mude'"
(Would I really be missed by my friends after I move')

"Te extraño, mi cielo"
(I miss you, sweety)

"Que hombre tan extraño, no crees?
(What a strange man, don't you think')

Hope this helped.

hi ciela
i notice that you live in argentina. in spain, extrañar also has the sense of surprise, examples
eso me extraña - that surprises me
no me extrañaría - i wouldn´t be surprised
me extrañaba que no hubieras venido - i was surprised you didn´t come.
i know it also means to miss the same as "echar de menos", and has uses regarding strangeness, "extrañeza", however, there are also some archaic meanings as well such as, to banish, to refuse, to become estranged.

Shelzie, most probably it means: to miss

Extrañar means to miss and to be surprised, depends on the context.

Yeah, it is amazing. You're right.
I remember back in 7th grade? A Dominican friend of mine started a conversation about weddings.. I ended up using the word it is commonly used in Argentina: "casamiento". She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Another word she didn't get was "torta" (cake) She told me in her country the word for cake is "bizcocho". Wow, the word "bizcocho" to me it's like a little pastry thing, or a cookie....

En Mexico y Guatemala se usa "pastel" por "cake". Tambien, "torta" quiere decir "sandwich" alli'. La misma cosa sucede en paises en que se habla ingles. Distancia y el pasar del tiempo cambia la significacion de palabras .
