Question

Answer

hmmm...i agree with above people~and cheer up ,joe~seem that ur Chinese is flying ..haha

Answer

"遗失" is common in writing Mandarin. "I lost my book" means "我弄丢了我的书" or "我丢了我的书"。“我的书不见了”or  " 我的书丢了” are both free translation. because "lost" in the sentence is a verb. in addition, you translate it into "我遗失了我的书". It sounds more influent. "了" in Mandarin always means something has occurred.I wish I can help you.
