Can "No hace falta" on its own, mean "you don't need to do that"

Question

Can "No hace falta" on it's own, mean "you don't need to do that" ? Seems that way from this show. She's gonna change clothes, in front of a guy wihout going into another room and he's like"NO NO NO, No hace falta!" Gracias.

Answer 1

You are absolutely correct! and No hace falta otra respuesta

Answer 2

"Is not needed", "there is no need to", or any other similar variation can be used depending on the sentence.

One little suggestion on your title: you write "it's" when it is a contraction of "it is". If you can't replace it with "it is", then is a possessive and it should be written as "its".

"Can a word on it is own... " obviously makes no sense, so it should have been "its", without the apostrophe.

And I thought I was the only one who cared about "its" spelled correctly. Thanks! - pesta, Aug 30, 2010

Answer 3

In one of the study programs I am working on right now it gives the phrase "no hace falta" and it gives the translation as "There is no need."

Yeah that's what it means, Para amarte no hace falta una razón, just never heard it without a contextual phrase like that. - jeezzle, Aug 30, 2010
