sentir la falta

Question

how do translate into english " es muy importante ensenarles a caracer, es decir a sentir la falta de y arreglarselas por si mismos?"

Answer 1

Apopkamaestro,

"Es muy importante ensenarles a caracer, es decir a sentir la falta de y arreglarselas por si mismos."

Most likely, what you meant was: "Es muy importante enseñarles a carecer, es decir, a sentir la falta de y arreglárselas por sí mismos". [please note the spelling corrections]

This would translate into:

"It is very important teaching them to lack some things, which means, to feel that there is something missing and to learn to do things by themselves"

I feel this sentence was taken out of context though, as there were lots of "blanks" in it implied. Hope this answer helps!

Answer 2

Here is the sentence you have asked about:
"Es muy importante ensenarles a caracer, es decir a sentir la falta de y arreglarselas por si mismos." (eseñar needs a tilde accent and caracer is not a word)
Have you made two spelling mistakes? Should the sentence be:
"Es muy importante enseÑarles a carÁcTer, es decir a sentir la falta de y arreglarselas por si mismos?"

If the changed spelling is correct, then I suggest the sentence means:

It is very important to teach them character, that is to say to feel something missing and to improve themselves.

moe, i think the original word was "carecer" which means to lack something. carácter is character. - zenejero, ABR 13, 2010
