Faltar y Necesitar
What sounds more natural to native speakers: "Necesito comer" or "Me falta comer". Is there a different shade of meaning between the two?
Thanks

Necesito comer.
Me hace falta comer. Tengo que comer. Necesito comer algo o me desmayaré. Me hace falta comer algo o me desmayaré. Tengo que comer algo o me desmayaré. I hope it'll be helpful. |

¡Tengo un hambre que me comería un toro!
Sí, tengo hambre antes de cenar. "Tener hambre" is very common, above all if you haven't eat anything for hours |

But there is a mistake in the sentence Tacuba wrote:
Me falta comer... is not a complete sentence. A correct sentence would be: Me hace falta comer algo. You could say: Me falta comer el postre y en cinco minutos vuelvo a la oficina. |

Yes, you are right for that motive, I written the word Algo.

Yes, usually you add "algo". But you can also say:
Necesito comer. Me hace falta comer. Tengo que comer. Hay que comer. Es necesario comer. These would be complete sentences. But if you say: Me falta comer... (something is missing here), except if you say a sentence where you're doing several things, for instance: Me acabo de duchar y me visto, sólo me faltará comer y ya estoy listo. Or something similar: Me falta comer y voy para allá. |
