Answer 1

"Te echo de menos mi amigo recientemente fallecido Roberto"

Please correct my words if they are wrong :) - Matjam, Apr 21, 2016

Change Te to Le. You are talking about Roberto ie third person. - gringojrf, Apr 21, 2016

See my answer, too long to go in a comment. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 21, 2016

Answer 2

To say you miss someone you can use "extrañar" or "echar de menos a alguien"

Yes, I know. They corrected their mistakes here because they're new and probably didn't know how to edit. - rac1, Apr 21, 2016

Answer 5

For Matjam:

-Te echo de menos mi amigo recientemente fallecido Roberto-

See this thread:

http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/le-la-echo-de-menos.797082/

La. En general, echar de menos va precedido por los pronombres me, te, la, lo, nos, os, las, los...

echar (de) menos. Locución verbal transitiva que significa ‘notar la falta [de alguien o algo]’: «Es usted buena persona, Fischer, lo echaré de menos». (RAE)

Si quieres profundizar sobre esta cuestión (por ser posible usar le y les en ciertos casos), puedes leer esta discusión:http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=403698. (El último mensaje es excelente).

Bottom line of above, it is a direct object, since you name the object later no need to put a pronoun, if you hadn't named it and needed the pronoun it would be lo, but le is possible for a male using leísmo- if you are speaking to an area that does that, and you can choose to include the object if you want.

But you do need a personal a, and echo= present, echaré is the form for “will”. Echo de menos- I miss; Voy a echar de menos= I am going to miss; Echaré de menos= I will miss.

So my though would be:

"Echaré de menos a mi amigo recientemente fallecido Roberto"

But that if you wanted to start with lo or le I would not necessarily fault it, but I think it would not be the normal. Again I am a learner, it could still be wrong.
