Cultural Note
Fazer is used impersonally for weather: 'Faz frio' (It's cold), 'Faz calor' (It's hot). It also expresses elapsed time: 'Faz dois anos que moro aqui' (I've lived here for two years). The expression 'fazer falta' means 'to be missed': 'Você me faz falta' (I miss you) — a beautifully Portuguese way to express longing.
