"Я теряю тебя."

Translation: I am losing you.

[nothus]

Whoa, Duolingo. You're getting deep on me. #thefeels

[flootzavut]

My thoughts exactly!

[_Maria_B._]

Same. Was about to say that.

[071g1]

Manipulation from duo to keep you hooked

[Pop2323pop]

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?

[JewishPolyglot]

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

[pannochka85]

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

[Gwenci]

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.

[ArcticXerxes]

Actually, the person being spoken to could also be a family member who is dying.

[pannochka85]

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

[pankrates]

I am also interested in learning the exact connotations if any this sentence carries in Russian

[booshnok1]

it could also mean a relationship is falling apart

[Adam82-]

Oh, how sad...

[gosutag]

This is actually a really good Russian song that i like.

[nDroae]

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

[booshnok1]

it's also a song by John Lennon from his final album

[ToghrulNH]

By S.Surganova perhaps?

[sirtwitchyi]

I cry everytime

[FaizalZahid]

This is both sad and...a tongue-twister!

[justinbrisk]

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?

[NachoMorei]

No way Duo, i use you everyday

[LukaVukZrinski]

Duo you made me cry ;(

[arcusimpetus]

So what would "I'm losing to you" be? Я тебе теряю ?

[Gwenci]

Я тебе проигрываю – if that’s about a game or a contest of some sort.

[AndiNewton]

OMG that's heartbreaking.

[JefeBezos3]

Russians are so passionate. This is really a common phrase.

[TannerMirabel]

So sad

[cef.svu]

это грустная!

[giorgi3092]

My darling, I am losing you!

[taffarelbergamin]

Sad day for sas people

[bottss1]

It must be a surreal experience.

[chairman_wu]

Yes, yes you are duo

[Paul440929]

Could this be said e.g. over the phone to someone you have accidentally gotten separated from? Like "Where the heck did you go?"

[ericyen28]

How would you say "I am losing TO you?"

[AngelGayda1]

That's me in the corner, loosing my religion

[Gustave_L]

You're going down a path I can't follow...

[David112586]

Да, Дуолинго, ты действительно теряешь меня.

[Guenter212784]

Is the pronunciation of the verb really normal? I always hear something like цедаю or целаю (which does not exist) ...

[marioescobarh]

Duolingo hitting right in the feels again

[huedor2077]

Better get used.

[AndrasteBa]

Can anyone please say what this would actually mean to a native speaker of Russian, jokes aside?

[EmemonD1]

sad :(

[Mirriam98668]

You lose what you cling to
