Also means
to have more than enough
Usage Note
Sobrar works like gustar: the subject is the thing that is 'left over,' not the person — me sobra tiempo means 'I have time to spare' (literally 'time is left over to me'). It is the opposite of faltar (to be lacking). In informal speech, sobra can also mean something or someone is unwanted or unnecessary: aquí sobras tú = 'you're not needed here.'
Examples
"Nos sobró comida después de la fiesta."
Natural Translation
We had food left over after the party.
Literal Translation
