lõhkenud

Lõhkenud is an Estonian word that translates to "burst," "broken," or "shattered" in English. It is a past participle of the verb lõhkema, which means to burst or explode. The word can be used in various contexts to describe something that has ruptured or broken apart. For instance, it can refer to a balloon that has burst (lõhkenud õhupall), a pipe that has broken (lõhkenud toru), or a glass that has shattered (lõhkenud klaas). It can also be used metaphorically to describe a person's emotional state, such as a broken heart (lõhkenud süda). The intensity of the breakage or rupture can be implied by the context in which lõhkenud is used. For example, a small crack in an object might not be described as lõhkenud, but a complete separation into pieces would be. The word is common in everyday Estonian conversation and literature.
