معنی
To offend or hurt someone's feelings.
زمینه فرهنگی
Hospitality and 'shirin dil' (sweet tongue) are vital. Breaking a guest's heart is considered a major failure of character. Very similar usage (Kalp kırmak). The heart is seen as the center of 'can' (life force/soul). Heavy influence from Persian poetry makes the phrase even more common in formal speech and literature. In many Turkic cultures, the heart is linked to the concept of 'uyat' (shame). Hurting someone's heart brings shame on the speaker.
The 'K' to 'Y' Rule
Remember that 'ürək' ends in a 'k', but when you add a suffix starting with a vowel (like -imi), it changes to 'y'. Always say 'ürəyimi', never 'ürəkimi'.
Don't be too dramatic
In English, 'you broke my heart' is very heavy. In Azerbaijani, it can be used for smaller things. Don't be shocked if someone says it after a small argument!
