brokenhearted
傷心の
解説 Definition
失恋や大きな悲しみで心が深く傷ついた状態。悲嘆にくれること。
Brokenhearted means feeling very sad because of love, loss, or deep disappointment. It is often used when someone is suffering after a relationship ends or after losing someone important. The word describes strong emotional pain, not a physical problem with the heart.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
brokenhearted は broken + heart + -ed と見れば覚えやすい。break の「壊す」を知っていれば、「心が壊れたような状態」と自然につながる。単なる sad よりずっと重く、失恋・死別・大きな喪失で深く傷ついた感じ。be brokenhearted, feel brokenhearted, a brokenhearted lover のようによく使う。heartbroken はほぼ同義だが、どちらも一時的な落ち込みではなく、胸が張り裂けるような悲しさを表す語だと押さえると残りやすい。
See it as `broken + heart + -ed`. If a thing is broken, it does not work normally, so a brokenhearted person feels like their heart has been damaged. Remember common pairs like `feel brokenhearted` and compare it with `heartbroken`, which is almost the same.
