EN: cracked; flawed; having a fissure
That feeling when you drop your phone and it lands face down. You pick it up, praying, but you see it—the screen is 'may-lamat'. It's not totally broken, but it's not perfect anymore. It can also describe a friendship after a huge fight—still there, but 'may-lamat' na, with a crack in the trust. #Hugot
From `may` (to have) + `lamat` (crack, fissure).
Used for both physical cracks (on glass, pottery) and metaphorical flaws (in relationships, reputation).
