-to lose o to miss?-

-to lose o to miss?-
Nota d'uso
I verbi to lose e to miss possono essere entrambi tradotti in italiano con il verbo perdere, ma vengono usati in contesti diversi. To miss significa perdere nel senso di “non raggiungere in tempo” o “non essere presenti a un evento”: Ho perso il treno, I missed the train; Ha perso la lezione, she missed the lesson. To lose esprime invece il concetto di perdita vera e propria: Perdo sempre le chiavi, I always lose my keys; Ha perso i genitori nel 2005, she lost her parents in 2005.
