To all of you posting neutral and disagree.... well, I must say you don\'t have much of a command of the Spanish language, by that I mean that you lack the AMPLE understanding a native Spanish speaking person would have that allows him/her to understand the different ways a meaning can be conveyed. \"To miss someone\" can be expressed as \"te echo de menos\", \"te extraño\" and \"me haces falta\" - these are all ways of expressing the meaning, \"I miss you\". As I mentioned to María Teresa below, it is pointless to debate such an ordinary term - different countries express it in different ways but Spanish-speaking persons can all understand the different translations; I would think translators with some basic experience can appreciate the subtleties. I am even surprised that a translator asked how to translate this phrase but I imagine they have no knowledge of Spanish and want to get informed, so it is, in fact, a legitimate question. And then I wonder, are you fishing for points? :-)

As an example of translators with a good knowledge of the Spanish language, Mapi agrees under Janfri\'s entry, that it is \"la forma más normal de decirlo en España\". A very correct and fair answer: she doesn\'t disagree with other answers, just points to the fact that that is the way it\'s expressed in Spain.
