“Broken” typically means something that is damaged or not functioning properly. It can refer to physical objects, such as a broken vase or a broken-down car, or to intangible things like relationships or systems that are no longer working effectively. When something is broken, it often requires repair or replacement to restore it to its original state or to function properly again.
