No me hace falta que te lamentes

Question

So is lamentarse the same as quejarse, our dictionary says so, or would this just be emphasizing with "te" that very lamenting feeling. I don't need you to complain, OR I don't need you to feel bad about it.

Gracias

Answer 1

So, it wouldn't be to complain and that's an error in our dictionary, to list the pronomial form of lamentar(SE) as = quejarse? And it should just mean "to feel bad" like; I donùt need you to feel bqd qbout it? Or is it like quejarse?

?y keyboqrd is qcting zierd:

Quejarse only means to complain. Lamentarse can mean both to complain or to regret. In your example it means to regret. Sorry about the confusion - gone, Feb 2, 2011

Answer 2

Quejarse can also mean to complain about something.

No me hace falta que te lamentes is gramatically correct but wordy. A native speaker would probably say: No tienes que lamentarte would convey the same meaning.

If you must use hacer falta, I would say No hace falta (to me or to the world) que te lamentes.

Answer 3

No. Lamentar is to regret.
