When an arm is amputated, or a leg is amputated, for gangrene, or you lose it in war -- for example, in the Iraq war, it's now a serious problem -- you continue to vividly feel the presence of that missing arm, and that's called a phantom arm or a phantom leg.
Kada nekome amputirate ruku ili nogu, zbog neke bolesti poput gangrene ili sve učestalijih nesreća, još uvijek imate jak osjećaj prisustva nestale ruke, te se to zove fantomska ruka ili noga.
