I had a great night out

Question

I'm struggling to translate this into Spanish on the translator. Anyone able to help?

I had a great night out with my friends for my birthday this evening but missed you.

Answer 1

Yo tuve una buena noche afuera con mis amigos para mis cumpleaños esta tarde/noche, pero te eché de menos.

You would use tarde if it's earlier in the evening, or noche if it was later in the evening. The phrase echar de menos is "to miss a person." It's preterite because you're saying it was this evening.
