معنی
Causing emotional distress.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Anatolian culture, breaking a heart is seen as a major sin. This is reflected in the 'Gönül' philosophy of Sufi saints like Yunus Emre and Hacı Bektaş Veli. In modern cities, 'kalp kırmak' is more common in dating, while 'gönül kırmak' remains the standard for family and elder relations. Turkish management style often avoids direct confrontation to prevent 'gönül kırmak', leading to more indirect communication. Arabesk music is almost entirely built on the theme of 'gönül kırıklığı' (broken heart/spirit).
