broken-heart vs heartbroken vs heart broken
I have learnt several those words I mentioned above today.

Like handmade, hardworking, heartbreaking, breathtaking, homemade and manmade.

But I still know some words like Enlish-speaking countries, a money-oriented society or a well-educated man.

So, I just have an idea or actually a question.

What are the difference between broken-heart or heartbroken?

When will native English speaker use a hyphen? or when they will not?

Tell me please :)

Answer

There is no difference between having a broken heart and feeling heartbroken. I don't think you can say "broken- heart" but rather "broken hearted".It would be an adjective- She is broken hearted. She is heartbroken. You can say "She died of a broken heart. "
