Bedeutung
To make someone like you.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Hospitality (Mehmaan Nawazi) is a core value. A host feels they have succeeded only if they 'win the heart' of the guest. The concept of 'Sewa' (selfless service) is often linked to winning hearts. Serving the community is seen as winning the 'Dil' of the Guru's people. Almost every romantic or inspirational song uses this phrase. It is the gold standard for expressing admiration. In traditional Punjabi sports, a player who plays fairly and bravely is said to 'win hearts' even if they lose the match.
Use with 'Lia'
In 90% of cases, use 'Dil jitt liya' (past) instead of just 'Dil jittya'. It sounds more natural and complete.
Not for Objects
You win a heart, but you don't 'win' a car or a house using this idiom. Use just 'jittna' for objects.
