Signification
To feel extreme fear.
Contexte culturel
The heart is the center of all emotions. If you are brave, you are 'yurakli' (with heart). If you are scared, your heart 'splits'. Stories often feature heroes whose hearts are made of stone or iron so they never 'split' in the face of monsters. Young people use this idiom frequently when talking about horror games or viral 'screamer' videos. There is a belief that a 'split' or 'fallen' heart needs to be treated with a specific ritual involving a bowl of water and a lead pour (chilla).
Use with 'yubormoq'
To say someone scared you, use 'Yuragimni yorib yubording!' It sounds much more native than just 'Meni qo'rqitding'.
Possessive Suffixes
Don't forget to change the ending of 'yurak'. If you say 'yuragi yorildi' about yourself, people will think you are talking about someone else!
