Usage Note

Desorientado describes someone who has lost their bearings — literally (lost in a place) or figuratively (lost in a situation or conversation). It agrees in gender and number: desorientada (f), desorientados (m pl). It is typically used with estar rather than ser, reflecting a temporary state rather than a permanent trait.

Examples
