Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "me" (same pronunciation) + "DWEH" + "leh" (as in "let") + "AHS" (as in "art") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "mah" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

An expression of pain so intense it goes beyond physical and reaches emotional and spiritual levels. When it hurts you to the soul, the suffering is total, body, heart, and mind are all equally wrecked.

Examples

My soul hurts after that workout.

What they said hurt me to my soul.
