How do I say "lost (in life)" in japanese?
I heard in a video that maigo 迷子 means "lost" as in "lost in the beach" or "lost in the city" but it just doesn't mean "lost in life" or "lost emotionally". So I wondered if there's a word for "lost in life".

Thanks.

Answer

sorry. what does " lost in life" mean ?

For example, " I have lost interest in life." in this case, It's said "欲を失う". 
"lost emotionally" is said "感情を失う" in Japanese.

btw, "lost in thought" is said "思いにふける" in Japanese.

"lost" mean the same as "失う" in Japanese.
迷子 mean the same as "道を失う".
