CHAMORRO EXPRESSIONS : MÅFFAK I PLÅTO

ibeatyou.com
MÅFFAK I PLÅTO = the plate is shattered

This expression beautifully (or sadly) describes a broken relationship.  When two people, previously close, become irreparably separated, it is like a plate that has fallen to the ground, shattering into pieces that will never come back together again in quite the same way, if ever at all.

Triste, lao magåhet.  Sad, but true.
