In what sense is this used? In English, "I'm losing you" means that I can tell you don't understand what I mean. But in Russian does it have the same sense, or mean emotionally we no longer connect? or literally I cannot find you?

In English, it can also mean that the connection on the phone is getting choppy. I wonder if that is also a connotation that it has in Russian

In Russian: ты пропада́ешь- you are breaking up (пропада́ть - to vanish, to disappear)

I’m not sure what the creators of the course meant by this, but to me it can only mean “we are drifting apart” or “I’m afraid you don’t love me anymore” or something like that, i.e. we no longer connect emotionally. There’s no connection to other meanings of this in English. And I don’t think it’s a common expression anyway.

"У него остановка сердца, мы его теряем". ("He's in cardiac arrest, we're losing him") I see (hear) it on tv sometimes))

Multiple songs :) This was one of those sentences that I just knew was a song title before searching for it.

There are various meanings of "losing" in English from the simple one of losing a pen to a more subtle one of a relationship fading (and several others besides) - which one is meant here? Can there be several meanings in Russian?
