Is "I lost my bus" correct usage? [closed]

Certainly not in American English. I've never seen it when reading British books, either; in fact, I don't recall seeing or hearing it in my life.

If I were to hear it, I'd assume lost meant "misplaced" and were meant as a joke.

On the other hand, the questioner's profile says he's Indian, and I don't know Indian English at all. Perhaps this is common there, though Google seems to imply otherwise.

Edit: Others' comments on this answer indicate that this is considered incorrect in both the U.K. and India.


It's probably a recent phenomenon and I believe a literal translation of the Spanish

He perdido [el avión, el bus...].
