This one has me stumped because I can't think of any way to describe "lost."
Since I don't know any words for "lost," or,"found (I tried shooting for
'found-not)" this is becoming a big project. Is there any way to say this
without saying things like: "I am not located where I should be located, can
you help me get to the place previosly mentioned?" That would be a pain on
the tounge, but those are the only things I could come up with. Is there any
way to express that I want directions without making it into a wicked long
sentance?<
The canonical term (in TKD, I think) is "jIHtaHbogh naDev vISovbe'." But if you
want the sentence to be simple and short, I don't know how I can help you.
