Io sono perduta in the feminine and Io sono perduto in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "I am lost."Specifically, the subject pronoun io -- which does not have to be used other than for emphasis -- is "I." The present verb sono means "(I) am" in this context. The feminine adjective/past participle perduta and the masculine perduto translate as "lost."The respective pronunciation in Italian will be "EE-o SO-no per-DOO-ta" in the feminine and "EE-o SO-no per-DOO-to" in the masculine.
