How to say this in Spanish?

Question

If I want to say "I miss (NAME)" in Spanish could I say "Pierdo (NAME)"?

Also, what is whatever in Spanish? I was told it was locosea/o or quieresea/o or something like that...

AND how do you say "God Bless You" I know "Dios" is God.


Gracias mis amigos! :)

Um..Give me tequila is not exactly telling someone you miss someone! LOL

Answer 1

You don't "miss" someone in Spanish like we do in English. You either use "extranar a" (tilde over the "n") or "Hechar de menos a", both of which are an idiomatic expressions that really have no translation back into English. The "a" is necessary if you name someone.

Extrano a Pablo = I miss Paul
Extrano mucho a Pablo = I really miss Paul or I miss Paul a lot.
Hecho de menos a Pablo = I miss Paul
Hecho de menos mucho a Pablo = I really miss Paul or I miss Paul a lot.

("Hecho muy de menos a Pablo" also can mean "I really miss Paul".)

"Hechar de menos" is the more common expression, although you may hear "extranar" more in Mexico.

If you are responding to a sneeze, you don't bless people for doing so in Spanish - instead you wish them good health: "Salud"

If you really want to express a wish of good will, as in "May God bless you", the most common expression is "Que Dios te bendiga" or "Que Dios le bendiga", depending on your familiarity with the person to whom you wish the blessing to go.

"Whatever" is not used in Spanish they way we have come to use it in everyday American English these days, that is, "Wat-EVER!", unless that is now common in Mexico or other Spanish culture that copies Americanisms. Just the word "whatever" would be "qualquier" or "qualquier cosa". If you wanted to get across the idea "whatever" from conversation English, you could use "lo que sea" (literally "that which may be") or "como deseas" or "como quisieras" (literally, "as you may wish" or "as you may want").

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You can't say "Pierdo (Name) because that would mean I lose (name). You want to say "Te extraño, (Name)" or you could get more flowery and say "Te extraño, mi amor" which is "I miss you my love"
Whatever is lo que sea or como (Ud) quiere(s)
May God Bless you = Que Dios le bendiga (formal) or Que Dios te bendiga (familiar)
unless you mean that someone just sneezed in which case you would say "salud" That means health.

Por nada (you're welcome; literally - it's nothing)
