EN: to break ties with; to have a falling out
This is the dramatic 'unfriend' button in real life. It's when you have a major fight with your BFF and you decide you're not friends anymore. It's the opposite of 'makipagbati'. It's the end of an era, often fueled by chismis, utang, or a love triangle.
From makipag- (social verb prefix) + sira (break, destroy).
ROOT MEANING: to break; to damage; to destroy
The makipag- prefix implies a mutual action or a situation involving the other person, even if the decision to break ties is one-sided. It's about the relationship itself breaking.
