. It's a fixed phrase, Bittu-- you've lost me means I cannot understand (follow) your explanation. This and the first speaker's phrase, are you with me?, are derived from the image of leading and following. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

I think, "No, you've lost me" means I don't want to follow you. Am I right? |

Dear Sir,
I don't understand the meaning of the first sentence 'Then you take away the first number - are you with me?' Please explain that meaning.

I presume that the conversation is about the mathematical operation called 'subtraction'. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
