Tonto perdido

Hola, escuché alguna muchacha dice

Eres tonta perdida - después de que su amiga había caído
¿Qué significa exactamente?

¿Es un dicho grosero? Me parece grosero a mí pero su amigo no se enfadaba.

muchas gracias por adelantado

Aló? Me llamaste?

Tonto perdido generalmente se usa para cuando alguien anda tont@ por otr@, like when you are in love...

When used in that context is not a pejorative term...

You can say yourself or to anyone "estás tonto o tonta (perdido /-a) when you're thinking of another thing, not only when you are in love

It can be translated as hopeless fool or hopelessly foolish...

In this case: "perdido" = "sin remedio"

Se puede utilizar en lugar de 'despistado/a' , distraído/s o tiene un otro significado - ¿sólo se utiliza cuando uno se comporta 'tontamente' ?

Relatively the phrase means when you're saying something bad to someone, I mean, when you are saying this you are lazy.

Eres una mensa.

Eres una loca.


Andas mal de la cabeza.


Eres una perdida, ofter this word is used for the youthfulness.

Well, I'm very absentminded, so I lot of times I tell myself :"estoy tonta, no sé en qué estoy pensando"
