Questions & Answers about Jag är fortfarande vilse!
- Jag = I
- är = am
- fortfarande = still
- vilse = lost
So the structure is very close to English: I am still lost!
Because Swedish uses att vara (to be) with vilse, just like English uses to be with lost.
- Jag är vilse = I am lost
Using har (have) here would sound wrong in standard Swedish.
A related expression is:

So:
- Jag är vilse describes your current state.
- Jag har gått vilse describes what happened to you.
In a normal Swedish main clause, sentence adverbs like fortfarande usually come after the finite verb.
So:
- Jag är fortfarande vilse
