Significado
To be deeply disappointed or hurt.
Contexto cultural
In Georgian culture, the heart is the seat of wisdom. A 'heartless' person (ugulo) is not just mean, but foolish and incomplete. Toasts often involve the 'heart'. A Tamada might toast to 'broken hearts' to show empathy and solidarity with those suffering. Georgian poetry is filled with 'broken hearts'. It is a noble state, showing that the person is capable of deep love and 'Kartvelian' passion. Young Georgians use the emoji 💔 along with 'გამიტყდა' to express disappointment about anything from a cancelled TV show to a bad grade.
The 'Mi' Rule
Always remember: if it's YOUR heart, the verb must have 'mi' (gamit'q'da).
Not for Objects
If you break a plate, don't say 'guli gaut'q'da'. Just say 'gat'q'da'.
