What does "me vas a hacer mucha falta" mean?

Question

I don't understand "hacer mucha falta" used with the verb ir and "me".

Answer 1

Hacer falta can literally mean lacking something, i.e. to need something.

It can also be a figurative way of saying "I am going to miss you."

Answer 2

I'm going to miss you.

No...Don't Go! ;-) - arnold3, Oct 2, 2009

Answer 3

Arnold tiene razón. La frase indica, " I am going to miss you a lot."

I was wrong! I got mixed up with echar de menos. Apologies to all! - 002262dd, Oct 2, 2009

Answer 4

Falta can mean either fault, lack, want, or miss.

hacer falta= to be necessary

hace falta= I need

But "I'm going to miss you" seems a more likely statement for someone to make than "I'm going to need you."

Without the context, I'd go with the former, but I think it could be either one.

Answer 5

Since "me haces falta" = I miss you and "te hago falta" = You miss me.
My understanding would be that "me vas a hacer mucha falta" = I am going to miss you a lot (You are going to be lacking to me (ie. missed) a lot)

But I'm just a beginner and these structures in Spanish confuse me too!

Answer 6

For me it means "You are going to make me miss a lot."

Answer 7

As far as I read it it's, "you're going to miss / need me a lot"

Answer 8

it means i going to be needed very much i looked it up for you ##

Answer 9

I'm going to need you very much.
