Learn the English Phrases AT A LOSS and LOST FOR WORDS- A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So today, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase

at a loss.

When you're at a loss,

it means that you don't know what to do.

It means that you're perplexed.

That might be a new word for you.

You're confused.

You don't know what to say.

You're just at a loss.

Maybe something has happened and you're just sad.

and you're just at a loss.

You don't know what to do.

You're just at a loss.

So when you say in English that you are at a loss,

it's just a, it's not a happy feeling.

It's not a happy time,

and it's a time where maybe you just don't know what to do.

And often this does happen after something tragic happens

in your life.

Maybe something bad has happened,

and now you are just at a loss.

You don't know how to put your life back together.

You don't know how to move on.

You are just at a loss and you don't know what to do next.

So it's not a nice situation to be in.

But sometimes after something bad happens,

you're just at a loss.

And there's two other phrases related to this.

You can say that you are lost for words.

This is when you don't know what to say.

And you can also say that you are at a loss for words.

So using the similar phrase to what we just learned,

you can add that to the end.

So you can say that you are lost for words

or that you are at a loss for words.

This often happens when something bad happens

to someone else.

Sometimes something happens to someone,

and you're just lost for words.

You don't know what to say,

or you're at a loss for words,

because you don't know what to say to them

in that situation.

So those two phrases, when you are at a loss,

you are perplexed and you don't know what to do,

and maybe you don't know what to say.

And if you are lost for words,

or if you are at a loss for words,

it means that you don't know what to say to someone

in a certain situation.
