Signification
The feeling of sadness after a breakup.
Contexte culturel
The 'Hati' vs 'Jantung' distinction is crucial. 'Hati' is the liver but functions as the emotional 'heart'. 'Jantung' is the physical heart. The 'Sobat Ambyar' movement celebrates heartbreak through the music of Didi Kempot, making it a communal, almost festive experience. 'Galau' is the modern state of being patah hati. It's a very popular term on social media for any romantic confusion. Indonesian pop (Pop Indo) is dominated by 'lagu galau' (heartbreak songs), which are the most commercially successful genre.
The Liver is the Key
Remember that in Indonesian, the liver (hati) is where all feelings live. If you feel it, it's in your hati!
Don't say 'Patah Jantung'
It sounds like you are describing a physical deformity of the heart organ. Stick to 'hati'.
