hacer caso
PHRASE
- (general)
a. to take notice
Mis hijos ya no me hacen caso.
My children don't take any notice of me anymore.
b. to pay attention
Si me hicieras caso, sacarías mejor notas.
If you paid attention to what I say, your grades would be better.
So
Ya no me haces caso
Ya no= no longer
me= to me
haces caso= you pay attention, notice
You no longer pay attention to me. You no longer notice me.
Example a in the dictionary is very similar to your sentence, just a different subject.
If this is a love story: you don't love me any more. ![]()
"Ya no me haces caso" is saying "You no longer pay attention to me", o "You ignore me."
You could also say, "Ya me haces caso omiso".
Ya me haces caso omiso
This is something that no one will ever say (if you check Google there are no entries for this). "Hacer caso omiso" is too formal for this phrasing, but besides that "ya no" is not exactly the denial of "ya". "Ya me haces caso omiso", if it means anything, it means "you already don't pay attention to me".
On the other hand, the sentence "ya no me haces caso" needs more context, because as it was mentioned, it can mean to pay attention or to obey. In most places it is more common for "to pay attention" but, for instance, in Argentina, it only means to obey, to do what someone said/suggested.
You don't obey me any more.
