I am having a difficult time understanding the meaning to this phrase, I've done several translators and still don't have good understanding. Could someone maybe clarify the meaning "ya no me haces caso" Thanks in advance

"You no longer listen to me " but please wait for a hispanoblante . - ray76, Jul 28, 2017
Ray's suggestion sounds like another good option to me. Although I am not a hispanohablante either. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 28, 2017

hacer caso

PHRASE

  1. (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.

"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".

Caso omiso is an excellent expression but it's for documents or something more formal. - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017
Bigote, por favor pregunta a otros Spanish native speakers. Si, sería prestar atención a mis órdenes. - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017
Estoy de acuerdo de que "hacer caso omiso" es más formal. - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Jul 28, 2017
"Tú no me haces caso. Dije filete. Quiero el filete." Así, no tiene nada que ver con "obedecer"'. Disculpa los "cables cruzados". - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Jul 28, 2017
Para mí tú no me haces caso porque yo quiero un filete y me trajiste otra cosa. Pero está bueno lo de cables cruzados. Necesitamos un cable a tierra ahora. - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017

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.

This "hacer caso" is so inside of me because I remember older people saying to us: Hagan caso meaning following orders. - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017
Shameless, vi tu video en tu sitio web. Me encanta el volumen de tu pelo. ¡Qué más querría yo que tener ese volumen! - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017

"Ya no me obedeces" difiere mucho de ""Ya no me haces caso." - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Jul 28, 2017
Para mí no. Los niños hacen caso u obedecen las órdenes de los padres y maestros. - polenta1, Jul 28, 2017
