Hey Wójcik :D So, I'll try to explain to you what some of those expressions mean, but actually I never heard about the first one. 2. fazer falta - that expression can has more than one meaning. If you're talking about some sport, It means fault, but it can be used when you're missing someone. Ex: "Ele está fazendo falta" (I'm missing him). 3. correr o risco - It can has more than one meaning too. If you put it on the sentence "Vou correr o risco", It means you'll take your chances, even if something can go wrong. Else, if you say that someone or something is "Correndo o risco", It means that something can go wrong, so there are risks. 4. comer as horas - I think this can be used when the time is running to fast. Sorry for my bad English, and I hope I've helped you! If you have any questions, hit me up and I'll try to help. XD

1. leave behind, forget (never heard anybody saying that though). 2. to miss somebody or something. (voce me faz falta = i miss you). (faz falta ter alguem para conversar = I miss having somebody to talk to) 3. passively take a risk. (se voce nao trabalhar, corre o risco de ficar sem dinheiro = if you dont work, you might as well end up with no money). 4. that literally means "eating for hours" but if thats a slang as well, i have no idea.

Fazer falta, exemplo: Quando alguém vai se mudar ( da cidade dele/dela, por exemplo) e você vai sentir saudade dessa pessoa, aí você diz: você vai fazer falta. Fazer falta, example: When someone is going to move (from his/her city to another, for example) and you will miss this person, then you say: você vai fazer falta.
