Question

What does "se te hace falta" mean?

Answer 1

Hello, Mdlan, welcome to the Forum.

I am going to guess that what you heard is "Si the hace falta", which means "if you need it", "in case you require it".

Sorry my friend, didn't see your answer - it popped up when I was doing my fancy dance! You can have my points...lol! :-) - musicat, Jan 29, 2012

Answer 2

"he/ she/ they miss you" that is what I believe it translates as...without context its hard to be completely sure.

You have the context guess right. this is the one. thanks for the post everbody. - mdlan2, Jan 29, 2012

Answer 3

Hi, I know this post is from 2012 but when I came across to it and saw those answers I said to myself I should make a point here. First of all, Gekkosan is right, in case it´s 'SI TE HACE FALTA', the translation is 'if you need it', or 'in case you require it'.

J850D, please quit drugs, you smoke too much ) Musicat is lost Pilonero, please, follow same treatment as J850D

to miss someone = 'Echar de menos a alguien' 'Echar de menos' = to miss 'a alguien' = to someone Echar de menos is used for people and experiences in the past. Echo de menos a mi hermano, I miss my brother. Te he echado mucho de menos. I´ve missed you a lot. Por fin has llegado, te estaba echando de menos. Here you are finally, I was missing you. Unlike 'Echar en falta' that is used to miss things. 'Echar en falta algo' = to miss something There were 3 candles on the table and I miss one of them. Habia 3 velas en la mesa y echo en falta una de ellas.

Lack or lack of is 'carencia' or 'falta de' there is a lack of affection, 'hay carencia de cariño / afecto', or you can say 'hay falta de cariño / afecto', 'Falta de' is more frequently used.

It does not exist 'se te hace falta'. Guys, don´t be mad at me, just trying to help, because those were incorrect answers.

in present continious you may use echar en falta, like the above example: Por fin has llegado, estaba echándote en falta - davidtp, May 14, 2013

Not only in present continuous. Echo en falta a mis amigos - I miss my friends - Eddy, May 14, 2013

Answer 4

Go to the translator, plug it in:

se te hace falta = it makes you lack

I have no idea what the specific context is but perhaps the author is trying to say "if there's anything you need/lack"

Song lyric anyone?

Answer 5

When I here it used it means essentially the same as "Are you lonesome for...?" Se le/te hace falta su familia? I have not been able to get it dissected to understand why, but that is how we use it.

"Hear". ¿Te hace falta tu familia? "Se te hace falta" is not really correct. - Gekkosan, Jan 29, 2012
