Answer 1

I have missed you. No wonder why you were confused the spelling is wrong It should te he echado de menos.

Yes, but what about the word ''mucho''...... Bella? - FELIZ77, Jan 16, 2012

Missed you lots, it's not attached to echar the menos, it's separate, much, if you see what I mean? Grammar is not my strong point! - annierats, Jan 16, 2012

Answer 3

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum Frior

Te he echado mucho de menos = I have missed you a lot / I have missed you a great deal

echado (no h !) is the past participle of the verb echar from the contruction echar de menos a alguien = to miss someone. This contruction is commonly used in Spain.

Spain: Te echo mucho de menos = I miss you a lot

Latin America: Te extraño mucho de menos = I miss you a lot

I hope this helps

Answer 4

We've missed you, too Cathy :) - Izanoni1, Jan 16, 2012

Answer 5

sounds like literally, I have missed you much less.

I don't think anybody would send amessage like that though..I take it to be a bit oddly written. Text, probably. - annierats, Jan 16, 2012

the "menos" part of the phrase is part of the idiom to miss someone, "echar de menos", and does not mean "less" here. - pesta, Jan 16, 2012

tuscany good try :) but idioms cannot be translated liiterally, word for word - FELIZ77, Jan 16, 2012
