To miss someone

To miss someone
 

Really simple one this, a bit beneath you all!

question is, how to say miss, in the sense of missing someone when they are leaving, faltar or perder?

por ejemplo:-
voy a faltarte
te faltaré
o
voy a perderte
te perderé
¿o otra cosa?

gracias por ayudarme,
un saludo,
craig.

Re: To miss someone
 

In Spain I miss you no se traduce como te faltaré sino como
(yo)te voy a echar de menos
(yo) te voy a echar en falta
te extrañaré
te añoraré
tengo miedo a perderte (I fear lose you)
y muchas más ....


Te perderé is saying "I'm losing you"
voy a perderte "I'm going to lose you"
Te faltaré is saying "I will fail you"

Hope it hepls

And in Mexico, "to miss someone" would almost always be "extrañar a alguien"

Re: To miss someone
 

how would you say "we missed you" in the sense of someone not being able to make it to an appointment

Re: To miss someone
 

If "we" are saying this to the person who missed the meeting/appt, I'd say:

Te extrañamos en la reunión
Nos hiciste falta en la reunión

If "we" are telling them that we missed the appointment, it could be:

No pudimos ir/llegar

Does that help?

Re: To miss someone
 

Yes it helps, thanx. For some reason though, I thought there was a different way of saying it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Re: To miss someone
 

I'm sure there *are* other ways of saying it :) Maybe the native speakers can pitch in?

Re: To miss someone
 

I don't know you guys. It doesn't sound right. Ok here's how it's written in English: We missed you. So this is a photograher writting to someone that he/she didn't make an appointment therefore trying to tell that someone that they failed to make it and they need to reschedule. Thanx for the help.

Re: To miss someone
 

Hmmm, I don't know. For what you're describing tavin, I'd say something like "(Sorry,) I/we missed the appointment (we need to reschedule)". And for that I'd use the Spanish:

No pude/pudimos llegar a la cita, necesitamos volver a concertar/programar/planear una.

Re: To miss someone
 

No apareciste como acordamos (you didn't show as appointed)
Te echamos en falta (we missed you)
the others I know are already said by Tomisimo
No llegaste, hay que volver a acordar una cita
