Now in addition I’m curious if by any chance Anaki related to Anakin? But they differ in meaning so maybe not right?

I keep seeing this in my newsfeed in social media. What exactly does it mean? I've never heard of this word before so I'm assuming it's a slang?

1. Suka (No diacritic mark)

Meaning: Vinegar

Pronunciation: Malumay (Gentle). It is pronounced with a stress on the first syllable (SU-ka). [1, 2]

1. Sukà (Grave accent / Tuldik na paiwa)

Meaning: Vomit

Pronunciation: Malumi (Glottal). It is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable but ends with a sudden glottal stop (abrupt catch in the throat) at the end (SU-kaʔ).

I am learning Tagalog but am natively an English speaker. In my understanding the direct translation for this phrase is "soulmate/spouse of the heart/chest" and it's usually used for a spouse or partner. I've also seen it translated as "half of the heart/chest" with the root "biyak" meaning split or break. Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding! I'd love to know which translation is more accurate?

I've also been trying to research to discover if this phrase could ever be used non-romantically. For example, in the case of a platonic soulmate or best friend that is very very important to you. Could the phrase be used in those situations, holding the same sentimentality without having romantic connotations? Or is the phrase exclusive to romantic situations and translates best when used for spouses or partners? Any help is much appreciated!

Here are some of the sources I've seen so far that are somewhat relevant:
