Contexte culturel
In Georgia, 'winning a heart' is often achieved through 'Shesandobari' (toasts of remembrance). Showing respect for a person's family is the fastest way to their heart. Georgian business is highly relational. You don't just sign contracts; you 'win hearts' over long dinners before doing business. In Georgian fairy tales, heroes often have to win the heart of a 'Mzetunakhavi' (the most beautiful woman) by performing three impossible tasks. On social media, 'gulis mogeba' is used for viral acts of kindness, like a bus driver helping an elderly person.

Not for Games
Never say 'გულის მოგება' when you win a game of chess. Just say 'მოგება'.
