FIL: Ang pagputol o paghiwalay ng isang matigas na bagay sa dalawa o higit pang piraso, tulad ng patpat o buto, sa pamamagitan ng pwersa.
EN: To break; to snap
'Bumali' is that sharp *snap* sound. It's what you do to a stick of barbecue before throwing it away. It's what happens to your bone if you fall off a bike the wrong way. Figuratively, it's also what someone does to a promise ('bumali sa usapan'). It's a clean, forceful break.
Used for long, thin, rigid objects like sticks, bones, pencils, etc. Differentiated from "basag" (for glass, plates) and "punit" (for paper, cloth).
