what is it missing?

Question

I like to try cooking Mexican cusine and this phrase comes up alot! Would "¿Que necicita?" be the proper way to say this or is there a better way when it involves cooking?

Answer 1

Hi Zalone. "¿Qué nececita?" means..."What do you need?". I would say: "¿Lo qué hace falta en los ingredientes?" Faltar is the verb: to be lacking, to be wanting, to lack, to miss, to need. Although, I think that coffeelate has the best answers. My motto is 'usually' take the shortest route! The trouble is that, just like English...there are many different ways to give the same answer. Good luck...Jool.

I think yours is a good answer. - Lise-Laroche, Feb 20, 2012

Answer 2

Hi there!

I would say "¿qué necesita(s)? or ¿qué está faltando?'

Like "para hacer esta receta necesitamos", "¿qué nos falta?" - "nos falta preparar el pollo"...

I hope to be helpful

Answer 3

Hi! The common phrase you'll hear whenever you're cooking (or watching a cuisine program) is "¿Qué se necesita?" or "¿Qué (ingrediente) hace falta?".

If you're asking someone else you use "¿Qué (ingredientes) necesitas?" or "¿Qué falta?"; you can also use the first one.

Answer 4

It is saying what you need as in ingredients

Answer 5

"¿Que necicita?":what do you need/desire? Could be but not grammatically correct!
