Flowers died in the garden from lack of watering.
In this sentence, 'מתו' is used in its primary sense as the past tense plural form of 'to die', indicating that the action of dying occurred for the people in the village.

In this example, 'מתו' is used metaphorically to describe an overwhelming sense of pleasure or euphoria, suggesting a departure from reality to bliss.
