Ich habe mich verlaufen.
/ɪç ˈhaːbə mɪç fɛɐˈlaʊfn̩/
I'm lost.
Literal translation
I have walked myself astray.
When to use it
More natural than 'Ich bin verloren', which sounds dramatic. Use this when you're literally lost on foot.
In conversation
—Entschuldigung, ich habe mich verlaufen. Ist das hier Mitte?
“—Excuse me, I'm lost. Is this the center?”
