Perder el hilo
Hola a todos!
¿Alguien tiene idea de como se dice cuando "perdes el hilo" por ejemplo, de una conversación? Saludos!

I agree,
perder el hilo (de la conversación) = to lose the thread (of the conversation) And also, recoger el hilo de la historia = to pick up the thread of the story Sometimes in Spanish we don't even need "el hilo" me distraje un momento y me perdí = my attention wandered for a moment and I lost the thread
