How do you say "I've missed you"

Question

and how do you say I'm going to miss you when you are saying goodbye to a friend?

Is it a girl or boy friend? - mosmanu, Oct 4, 2010

Answer 1

Good observation. Usually "falta" is for when some thing is missing or needed, as in "Me falta un lápiz," but also when students are missing from class ("Héctor faltó al tercer período hoy.")

When we miss people, it's usually "extrañar" or "echar de menos" as Feliz77 said. So,

I've missed you = Te he echado de menos / Te he extrañado.

I'll miss you = Te echaré de menos. / Te extrañaré.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!! One quick question. How do you he is espanol? I know the h isn't pronounced but is it just a short e sound then? - bertnliz, Oct 4, 2010

Answer 2

te echare de menos - I will miss you te he echado de menos -I've missed you

It is 'te echaré de menos' there should be an accent on the é of echaré - FELIZ77, Oct 4, 2010

Hello, Bertnliz.. Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

As you may know we encourage you to make an initial attempt at your own translations and then present them here for corrections. People will the be pleased to offer corrections, guidance and advice.

However, I will give you a clue:

One of the two verbs you could use is 'extrañar'
The other verb cosntruction would be echar de menos (alguién)**

= to miss (someone)

I'm Sorry, I had read your question incorrectly as future tense: I am going to miss you I think there was another thread connected with that question

For your sentence You would use the present tense of the verb haber + the past participle of the verb extrañar so you would take off the ar ending of this verb and add ado

You would do the same with the verb 'echar' and then remove the ar and add the same ending as you did with with 'extrañar'

I hope that helps I am sure You can take it from there

Answer 4

I'll give you a different way to say "te extrañaré" or "te voy a echar de menos." It is "me vas a hacer falta."

Answer 5

It's funny because I'm asking this because I while back I heard someone use the word falta to mean miss? I didn't understand why, I will try my best :/

You could use that verb too it just wasnt't the way I was first taught that expression - FELIZ77, Oct 4, 2010
