Significado
To share one's deepest thoughts and feelings with another person, trusting them fully.
Contexto cultural
The 'Del' is considered the center of truth. In Iranian culture, if something is 'Az del bar āyad' (comes from the heart), it will 'Bar del neshinad' (sit on the heart/be accepted). Mystics believe that hearts can communicate without words. 'Del be del dādan' is a step toward spiritual unity with another person. In modern Tehran, this phrase is often used to contrast 'real' relationships with the 'fake' ones found on social media. Classical poets often used the heart as a mirror. Giving heart to heart is like aligning two mirrors to reflect the same light.
Use with 'Ham'
Using 'be del-e ham' (to each other's hearts) is the most natural way to describe a mutual bonding session.
Not for Business
Never use this with your boss unless you are describing a very personal, non-work-related breakthrough.
