perdidos

Perdidos is the plural masculine form of the Spanish adjective perdido, meaning "lost" or "missing." In everyday Spanish, perdidos describes people, objects, or places that are not where they should be, as in “los perros están perdidos” or “son perdidos en el camino.” As a noun phrase, “los perdidos” can refer to a group identified as lost or missing, such as in news reports about people who have disappeared.

In cultural usage, Perdidos is commonly found as a title in Spanish-language media. Several films, television episodes, and musical works have used Perdidos as their title or theme, reflecting ideas of search, displacement, or invisibility. Additionally, in some Spanish-language editions of international media, the English word “Lost” is translated as “Perdidos,” and the show or characters may be referred to by that title.

Linguistically, perdidos agrees with masculine plural nouns; the feminine plural form is perdidas. The noun phrase los perdidos is often used with definite articles to denote a particular group of people who are lost or missing, such as a group in a story or a search operation.
